In mid-June I watched a review copy of “The Hunting of the President,” a new film based on the best-selling book of the same name by Joe Conason by Gene Lyons, recounting the 10-year campaign to destroy the presidency and reputation of former President Bill Clinton and his wife, now-U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

In brief comments on the film, which I highly recommend, I mentioned the film’s distributors were seeking additional outlets to show the documentary this summer and fall.  While checking out the film’s web site today I noticed quite a few more cities have been added to the line-up, as follows:

[Post-publication addendum: Have you hit the Rittenhouse tip box lately? It’s sitting, awfully lonely, in the sidebar at right, under the heading “Summer Drive.” Thanks a million. No . . . thanks a few bucks.]
