The Queen

Queen Elizabeth II is visiting Virginia this week in honor of the 400-year anniversary of the Jamestown colony. The story of Pocahontas was depicted in The New World, and while the film was probably the most beautiful reel of celluloid ever, it doesn't stick to the facts. For instance, it's believed that Pocahontas was anywhere between 8 and 12 years old when John Smith arrived, so the idea that they fell in love is, well, wrong in so many ways.
