Crossing Jordan
Night of the Living Dead
Sunday 25 February 2007 on NBC

A shooting has occurred and three people are dead, including an alleged killer and his snake of a defense attorney. Much to one of the victims surprise, he has been declared dead by mistake and sent to the morgue for an autopsy. Unable to speak or move he can only watch as the doctors prepare...

Ron joined the advisory committee to the Lewis Libby Legal Defense Trust in 2006. (edit) Ron who was an outspoken Democrat for many years, became an outspoken supporter for President George W. Bush, naming the September 11, 2001 attacks and the Democrats' policies regarding terrorism as his reasons for becoming an independent. (edit) Ron has taught high school and has done social work for the Department of Social Services. (edit) In February 1998 Ron wrote an editorial titled Let Israel Defend Itself Against Saddam in which he supports Israel's right to defend itself if attacked by Iraq in relaliation for U.S. bombings. (edit) Ron is a member of the Executive Committee of The Committee for a Secure Peace and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. (edit)

Ron: The twentieth century has exhibited a barbarism and lack of respect for human life on a massive scale just about unknown before. (edit) Ron: (on supporting President Bush) On many social issues, if this president wins, and I hope he does and I will try to help him, on November 3 I'll be on the other side of the barricades when it comes to stem cell research, gay rights and other social issues. (edit) Ron: (on supporting President Bush) Twelve years ago I was here for the Democratic convention. I was on the platform committee. Zell Miller was the keynote speaker. A lot's changed since then, I can tell you. If you asked me on September 10, 2001, would I consider going to the Republican National Convention and speaking, I would have thought you were from another planet and didn't know who I was. (edit) Rom: (when asked if he ever thought of running for a political office) And lose whatever influence I now have? Nobody would ever listen to me again. (edit) Ron: (on founding the Creative Coalition) It came out of the [Michael] Dukakis campaign actually. There was a group of celebrities coming back from Queens after a Dukakis rally and on the bus we were talking Christine Lahti, Susan Sarandon and all sorts of other people. I was receiving literature from two groups on the West Coast the Hollywood Women's Political Committee and Show Coalition and I asked why there wasn't an industrywide network for political education in New York as well. There seemed to be a general frustration that celebrities are just used ornamentally, to raise funds and to put their names on invitations or attract crowds. We had a power whether we deserve to have that power or not was a very arguable proposition, but we did. So how could we use it responsibly? We just felt that adding our voices together and having an organization behind us would give us access to information and people and we could educate ourselves about the political process. (edit)
