...astounded to learn that Howard Stern earns $1,000 in 24 sec., while police officers and high school teachers earn the same amount for 43 hr. of work.

A radio personality's value to our society is totally insignificant compared with that of hardworking police officers and teachers. Forrest F. Leigh Boulder, Colorado, U.S. time's statement that "hispanics are the only group having more than enough children to replace themselves in the population" could imply that our continued population growth...

...never tell. A word on Kingdom of Heaven: if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you'll see why it's such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it's the film I'm most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly. It did a very delicate job of literally profiling the Muslims when it was not a good time to be doing that, and actually Fox really followed through. I've got many letters from Muslim organizations thanking me for making Kingdom of Heaven. And people...
