QUOTE FOR THE TIMES

---

From a 1987 Sixty Minutes interview with Kenneth Starr, conducted by Dianne Sawyer, prior to his appointment as Special Prosecutor and subsequent prosecution of president Bill Clinton:

"Public media should not contain explicit or implied descriptions of sex acts. Our society should be purged of the perverts who provide the media with pornographic material while pretending it has some redeeming social value under the public's 'right to know'."

-- Kenneth Starr
