Once again--in lobbying for the McClure-Volkmer "Firearms Owners Protection Act" which NRA pin-up Kliesmet is advertising--the NRA has demonstrated its knack at introducing ambiguity into a straightforward issue...
...just profitability, but palatability is on the rise. While baseball wrings its hands in search of a drug policy amenable to both sides, the basketball players and owners have calmly installed a straightforward plan providing for education, rehabilitation and punishment. The first time a player comes forward with a heroin or cocaine problem, he is suspended with pay, treated at the team's expense and reactivated.

Straightforward and self-effacing stylistically, he has touched films as diverse as a transvestite farce (Tootsie) and a contemplation of journalistic ethics (Absence of Malice) with his own romantic idealism. Now he has allowed it to overflow the boundaries of his admirable professionalism. This is, in today's cultural climate, an unspeakably gallant act, but also...
