...director Jay Russell comments, who originally turned down the script because he was hesitant to assume responsibility for an accurate portrayal of firefighting under the shadow of 9/11. But heartened by the memories of a father and best friend who had served on the force, he resolved to approach the script with a focus on realism, a process that began with careful casting...
...will be as far to the right as Harvard is to the left.” Huh, we thought Princeton already had that covered. Falwell’s law school, an arm of his esteemed Liberty University, will educate its students in a “principled Christian approach to the practice of law”—as opposed to the God-hating, ass-ramming, Hebrew approach over at Harvard Law.

...attack and another when running for the highest office in the land. The person we elect to be our president for the next four years must be someone we can trust to do what he believes is right. The dangers we face are serious and require a consistent, principled approach. When dealing with issues of life and death, taking a step in one direction before scampering in the other as soon as the polls change seriously compromises American security...
