Barbara Walters' Interview With Christopher Reeves
Words: 443 / Pages: 2 .... and know without a doubt
that what you did was right, then it was."
Now old Irish sayings might not hold true to every person. However
that could be a universal truth among those that are essentially ethical.
There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Walters is an ethical journalist,

CENSORSHIP OF OBSCENITY
"The beginning of a new legal approach may be traced to the action of the
federal courts in the 1930s, when they held that Irish author James Joyce's
Ulysses was not obscene and could be freely passed through customs. The courts
ruled that the use of "dirty words" in "a sincere and honest book" did not make
