What the Wizard of Oz Couldn't Give

AS A SMALL CHILD THE WIZARD OF OZ LEFT AN indelible mark in my heart. It has always been one of my favorite movies and I believe it is one of the ten best movies ever made. As the father of two children, I had the opportunity to see it again through a child's eyes as we watched the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tinman search for something they thought they were lacking. Although the great and powerful Wizard of Oz could not help Dorothy, he could give the Tinman a heart, the Scarecrow a diploma, and the Cowardly Lion a medal for bravery.
