‘The Manchurian Candidate’

Sun., Jan. 29, 2017

However you voted in the 2016 presidential election, you owe it to yourself, and our nation, to read or watch either Richard Condon’s 1959 novel “The Manchurian Candidate,” or the 1962 film version with Frank Sinatra or the 2004 film with Denzel Washington. One other thing: change the ending.
