I have problems with the fact that he originally lied about the remark. I also have problems with the fact that equally insensitive remarks got others (Earl Butz and James Watts come to mind) lamabasted by the press while Jackson seems to have come out relatively unscathed. That's not Jackson fault. It's the double standard of the American Press. I also wonder if Jackson has now forfeited the right to pontificate on future verbal stupidities of the Butz-Watts type. Me thinks so. -- Bill Adams ==> AT&T Communications <== ihnp4!ihuxp!esac (312) 979-6267
