- <p> While Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues hasn't impressed many
- film critics, it has managed to unleash a wave of protest from
- Jewish groups objecting to the stereotypical portrayals of two
- unscrupulous jazz-club owners. Last week in the New York Times,
- Lee charged his accusers with applying a double standard.
