And I'll 28 00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:05,850 bet you he's a dead ringer for Fleming. 29 00:03:06,190 --> 00:03:08,190 Ah, Charlie, I don't think he'd go that far. 30 00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:11,190 I promised I'd get this stuff back. 31 00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:16,830 Whatever happened to having the controversial stuff on the editorial 32 00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,290 the funny stuff in the comics? 33 00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:22,070 I don't know.

It's our money. 53 00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:19,959 Yeah? Then we should send it to me, direct. 54 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,160 Listen, I'd love to keep discussing this, but we have to move on to your 55 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,160 topic. 56 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:27,220 Sex education. 57 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,660 Mr. Kiefer, do we have to talk about sex? 58 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:30,340 Okay. 59 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,600 A junior high school teacher who is concerned for her students' welfare 60 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920 offers them birth control information. 61 00:04:40,669 --> 00:04:43,950 Isn't she like saying it's okay to have sex? Wait, wait, wait. Not necessarily. 62 00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:46,630 What if she didn't give out the information? Wouldn't that be 63 00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:50,010 Just because you read the information doesn't mean you'll do it. 64 00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:54,130 Oh, please, go on. Just ignore me. 65 00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:57,630 It's easy. 66 00:04:57,770 --> 00:04:58,910 Pretend we're having an assembly. 67 00:05:00,530 --> 00:05:01,530 Okay. 68 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:04,090 We have a teacher who wants to give out birth control information. 69 00:05:04,830 --> 00:05:06,510 What is it that we need to know? 70 00:05:06,750 --> 00:05:08,010 I need to know the name of that teacher. 71 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,200 We'll come back this month. 72 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,480 Marilyn. 73 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,180 We've discussed the use of this book before. 74 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,360 I know, but I need it. 75 00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:33,260 It gives the class a focus. 76 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:35,060 Maybe you'd better change the focus. 77 00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:38,360 This book on cultural values doesn't fit the board's plan. 78 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,260 We've committed ourselves to a back -to -basics approach. 79 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,140 The curriculum is more backward than basic. 80 00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:49,280 It's less open than when I was a student here 12 years ago. 81 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,640 And besides, I think getting students to understand right and wrong is pretty 82 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,280 basic. Marilyn, you're really forcing my hand. 83 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,540 The board made the decision. I'm to carry out policy. 84 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,800 Well, they've taken away my whole reading list. 85 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,160 Pretty soon the only book I'll be able to use around here is the telephone 86 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,840 If you persist in this, you've...

See ya. 119 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,400 It was a beautiful day until Mr. Sackler called from the legal department. 120 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,100 I know, I know. That piece we did on 101 ways to beat the IRS. 121 00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:20,400 But every one of those loopholes is legal. 122 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,460 Wonderful, but that's not why he called. 123 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Oh, it's this comic strip, Duffy's Menagerie. Oh, yeah. 124 00:08:27,260 --> 00:08:31,240 Mr. Sackler seems to feel the cartoonist, Mr. 125 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,980 Diefenbaker, is begging a larval suit for his series on Arab influence in 126 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:38,860 Congress. He's got it all set up. 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480 And if Senator Fleming steps out of the car... Senator Lemming. 128 00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:45,000 Yes, Senator F. 129 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,900 Lemming. Who are we kidding? 130 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,400 If he does step out of the car, what'll we do? 131 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,720 We don't do anything. 132 00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:53,280 It's a spoof. Satire. 133 00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:57,580 But even a comic strip has to be careful when they're going to defame a public 134 00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,260 figure. Mr. Pinchon's right. 135 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:03,180 And he's clearly implying that Senator Fleming has been bought by Arab money. 136 00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:08,290 If... If I remember correctly, these charges were made before. Didn't we 137 00:09:08,290 --> 00:09:09,710 an investigation of our own? 138 00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:13,730 Every reporter in town has heard the rumors, but nobody's been able to prove 139 00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:14,970 Yeah, we tried like hell. 140 00:09:15,510 --> 00:09:19,030 Burroughs came up with some stuff. A lot of hearsay, but nothing we could nail 141 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:19,549 him with. 142 00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:23,410 Well, unless Mr. Diefenbaker has better sources than we do, he's causing 143 00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:24,410 trouble. 144 00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:29,310 And Senator Fleming is rather sensitive on this subject. We're going to censor 145 00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:31,650 this trip because we're afraid of hurting a senator's feelings? 146 00:09:32,110 --> 00:09:33,110 No. 147 00:09:33,459 --> 00:09:38,100 We've criticized the senator's actions before. I have never interfered as long 148 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,320 as we had the evidence to back it up. Well, don't you worry. I'll be checking 149 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,280 this strip myself every day before it goes to composing. 150 00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,900 That'll make Mr. Sackler's life a lot easier. Thank you, Mr. Hume. 151 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,840 Mr. Grant. 152 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,999 Hmm? 153 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 My paper. 154 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Oh. 155 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,320 I haven't finished the funnies yet. 156 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,840 Lou Grant. 157 00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:04,430 We'll continue in a moment here on A andE. 158 00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:09,890 Payday's a crazy calendar game where you're at the top of the world one day. 159 00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:10,890 want to sleep one day. 160 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:17,430 So there I was holding down the desk at the free press.

Well, I got a ticket on the way up here. Does that count? 168 00:10:41,090 --> 00:10:42,270 Well, what'd you get it for? 169 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:43,630 Fawlty taillight. 170 00:10:44,270 --> 00:10:45,510 Doesn't count.
