I was this doctor, brought back to life, and the only thing that nourished this poor bastard was blood. If it had been Jack Warners blood, or Harrys, or Pops, maybe I wouldnt have minded as much.

They were forced to drop their lawsuit when it was proved that "1492"s producer Alain Goldman and writer Roselyne Boschs first proposal of a Christopher Columbus project predated theirs.

What we have to do is love these people who hate us - love them, pray for them. These people are wounded people who have hate in their hearts. They need forgiveness. They need the Lord. . . . That is the answer we must give."
c.
