[AGL] y'all seen any good movies lately?

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Byron,

the difference between the 1992 Roy Cohn movie
and Mike Nichol's/Tony Kushner's Angels in America
is that the former OPENS with Roy Cohn dying of
AIDS in hospital but in the latter, Roy Cohn dies
of AIDS almost at the end of the movie.
