An observation below reminded a reader of a scene in Manhattan, the Woody Allen movie: Isaac Davis: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Ya know? I read it in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, ya know, get some bricks and baseball bats, and really explain things to ’em. Party Guest: There was this devastating satirical piece on that on the op-ed page of the Times, just devastating. Isaac Davis: Whoa, whoa. A satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point of it. Other Party Guest: Oh, but really biting satire is always better than physical force. Isaac Davis: No, physical force is always better with Nazis.
