-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm reading "The Gift of Stern Angels" by Michael Moriarty. It is a memoir of how one hour with Janet Reno in a Washington DC hotel in 1993 turned the star of Law and Order from a Clinton voter into a very independent libertarian, a black-listed Hollywood pariah, and an exile to Canada. [No they were just talking.] Moriarty, who had voted for Clinton in 1992, was invited to a meeting on television violence between the AG and TV execs in the Ulysses S. Grant Suite of the Willard Hotel on November 18th 1993. The AG said that a show like "Murder She Wrote" even though it didn't show violence on screen was troubling because it dwelt on the instrumentalities of violence. Following the meeting, Moriarty publicly attacked the Administration, was fired from Law and Order, was unable to work in Hollywood (save for one appearance in Courage Under Fire), got divorced, and fled to Halifax. He had favored a ban on "assault rifles" but he now moved to Canada because he feared that if he stayed in the US he would feel compelled to take up the gun. The book has tons of great free speech quotes. "In 3,000 years of human history, no one has ever dared to come to the conclusion that the fight scenes in Romeo and Juliet provoked the death of Christopher Marlowe." It's not published in the US. I ordered mine from the Book Room (North America's oldest bookstore) in Halifax. 1-800-387-BOOK (2665).
