Herbie is Dethroned; Long Live Benji !

At last, one cinematic hero of the 70's has supplanted his predecessor in the heart of young Ian Z. This would have seemed unthinkable before our trip to Connecticut earlier this month, where Auntie Ann introduced the boys to the Rin-Tin-Tin of our youth. He told the Benji-bestower herself, over the phone the other night:

"Auntie Ann, did you know that Benji is very funny, and I like him even better than Herbie now?"
