The Skirball was allegedly one of
the targets considered by Buford
O'Neal Furrow Jr., charged in the
August shooting at the JCC, but was
passed by because of tight security.
Herscher noted that the reading
had been proposed by Heston more
than a year ago, as a memorial trib-
ute to a close Jewish friend, Dr.
Louis Jolyon West, founder and chair
of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric
Institute.
In addition, Herscher cited aspects
of Heston's life that are not generally
known, such as his actions as an
early civil rights advocate and as a
strong opponent of Hollywood's
blacklist of suspected communists
during the McCarthy era in the
1950s.
No mention was made of Heston's
NRA activities. The actor recited
poems from Robert Frost and Alfred
Lord Tennyson, selections from
Shakespeare's Macbeth and a biblical
passage about Moses.

Actor and anti-gun control lobby-
ist Charlton Heston has gone ahead
with a controversial reading at a
Jewish museum in Los Angeles.
But some donors to the Skirball
Cultural Center boycotted the early
December event, which was attended
by a near-capacity crowd of 200 peo-
ple, to protest Heston's views on
guns.

an expansion — defended the

In his counterblast last week,
Michaels told he Washington Post
that "what satire is supposed to do is
provoke discussion.
"We are not pro-drugs, but we
make jokes about drugs," Michaels
said. "We're not pro-ignorance, but
we make jokes about ignorance, and
the only way you can do it is by
showing ignorance. The idea that
any discussion of these ideas is out of
bounds is idiotic to me."
