Michael Levine, Heston's publicist, believes the actor's outspokenness has damaged his career. "There's a reverse blacklist," he says. "It is far better in Hollywood to admit you're a drug addict than a conservative." But Heston, having just wrapped his 75th film, Gideon's Webb, shrugs off the concern.

...supervise what their children do and take the necessary steps to lock out things they find objectionable. Technology is the answer, not red tape.
