I doubt that the law requires this, considering that uncensored movies are transmitted via satellite all the time. Let's not introduce such juvenile foolishness into the news system unless the law mandates it. There is no reason to think that an article containing words some consider "obscene" could not be well worth reading. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
