America is made up of individuals and individual opinions. The writers of the Constitution recognized this and gave us that freedom, to be guaran- teed for all time. Also guaranteed in the Constitution is the right for anyone to express their opinions, whether verbally or through print. The First Amendment gives everyone room for discussion. However, it does not give validation to violence or to the advocation of violence. Violence is not a free expres- sion of speech. When violence is used to enforce one person's or one group's opinion, that is imposing on the freedom of others. And no matter what your views are on abortion, no one has the right to do that.

I don't think she mean to be. 99 FEATURES The Chanticleer January 19, 1995 Jodie does it all Adds Neeson, "Jodie was the producer and the star, and she wore both hats with consummate ease. She was born into this business, and it's rooted in her. She's anatural, a consummate professional, and I loved that." Foster, dressed sharply in an olive pants suit, appears exhausted. She's so tired because she has crossed the nation publicizing "Nell." Foster knows that she was the boss and realizes she may have intimidated some of those around her, but a film had to be made, and it was. The key, apparently, was finding the best people and empowering them to do what they do best. "It was a process of collaboration with all of us, frankly," she says. "Ultimately, it has to be Michael Apted's story, and it has to be his vision. The good thing about Michael is he is somebody who, because he has such a documentary way of seeing stories, doesn't impose his point of view on a movie and then clobber everything else with it. He allows it to be delicate and allows it to be everybody's point of view. He lets the story tell itself." Foster dug deep to play Nell, to make both the isolation she feels and the love she gives others palpable for audiences. Throughout the film, the character undergoes a rite of passage that's painful but necessary for her to move on with her life. That internal struggle was at the heart of the character for Foster. "I can see myselfin all the characters, but there's something very singular that was the connective tissue between Nell, who's not like me, who's everything that I'm not and couldn't be, and me," she says. "I'm too cynical and socialized in some ways and have lived a different life. "That's not a problem, it's just not who I am. So, the connective tissue was feeling as if her whole identity was wrapped in somebody else. She doesn't exist unless she's helping someone or being with someone. She holds to that ideal because, if it's destroyed, she's nothing. She'd have no purpose, no way of connecting with anybody else." Jodie Foster and company talk with Moved in different ways Ultimately, Apted thinks audiences will be moved by "Nell," though how they're college press about the film that could moved and what actually moved them will be an individual matter. "When I read the material I thought it was very resonant," he concludes. "In a sense, I went a slightly negative way with it. I was very guarded about what I didn't want the film to be. I didn't win the actress her third Academy want it to be about the joy of innocence. "I wanted the characters to have a real point of view, yet I wanted the film to be there Award. for anybody to get whatever they wanted out of it. I treaded carefully, trying to make everything authentic, not to give the film great statements, not to make it self-important...... m...... What it's about is incredibly easy, if you want to reduce it to one line, or quite complicated, if you want to be cerebral about it. I quite like that richness of the material. The film features the high-octane tno of Jodie Foster, Liam Neeson and 1-atasha I think it works. I'm happy with it." Richardson, and was directed by Michael Apted, whose credits include the well-regarded "Coal Miner's Daughter" and "Gorillas in the Mist." Even the story -- a young woman (Foster) has spent her entire life growing up in the Appalachian woods, speaking an unintelligible tongue learned from her late, stroke-victim mother, and is brought into the real world by a doctor (Neeson) and a psychologist (Richardson) at loggerheads over what's best for her -- sounds like the stuff of Oscar nominations. The central figure in all of this, of course, is Foster, who came to "Nell" following "Maverick," one of her biggest box office hits ever. Not only does "Nell" sink or swim on Foster's performance, but the film itself marks her debut as a producer (she produced the project for her production company, Egg Pictures). As a result, the actors sharing the screen with Foster and the director putting her thrsugh her paces, were, ultimately, Foster's employees. "She was intimidating," admits the British Apted. "I don't think she meant to be. She's an incredibly distinguished actress and producer. I thought, 'I'm here, sod it, I'll try.' I had ajob to do. She was incredibly collaborative. The great thing she managed to do was not make one feel second-guessed. That says a lot about her as a person and a producer. She lets you do your stuff. It was a very fruitful experience for me." Richardson and Foster met 10 years ago, when kchardson's late father, director Tony Richardson, shot the Foster film "Hotel New Hampshire." Richardson remembers feeling an immediate affinity for her. "She's so down to earth. I was blown away when I met her the first time," states Richardson, a charming conversationalist who's pregnant with her and her husband's first child. "I was impressed, even more so, meeting her (now) as a woman in this industry. She's a shinning example, in the way she handles herself, journalists and her privacy, while being accessible. Anyway, enough about how great Jodie is." Another Oscar?: Foster as Nell has Hollywood buzzing about her chances.

Another streak ... Lady 'cocks make it four in a row V By Jeh Jeh Pruitt with Geoff Richards Sports editor Dana Austin and her Lady Gamecocks were pushing for their fourth straight win, the longest streak since Austin took over as coach. On Tuesday night, JSU played host to the Lady Braves of West Georgia and completed their mission, scalping them 7 1-59. "We had been struggling with rebounds," said JSU's Jennifer Davis. "I knew it was going to be a tough game coming in. You got to do what you got to do. You go to get your stuff together. It doesn't matter what they do." Alfredia Seals, who scored a career high 30 points her first home game, feels she's not playing to her potential but as a team, "we're doing a whole lot of playing, not well but O.K. We're not playing the way Jax State girls should play." Top scorers for JSU were Cindy Thaxton with 15 points, Seals (20 points) and Davis (12 points). Kristi Coffee led West Georgia's scoring with 17 points and freshman Amy Gibson had 13 points. Although West Geogia's rebounding was outstanding, the team finished with 28 turnovers. The first half came alive at the eight minuter mark. Both teams were running the court malung turnover after turnover until JSU slowed the ball down and started getting it inside, that being the key to their success. The Lady Gamecocks took alead of 44-24 to the locker room. The Gamecocks came out shooting well in the second half, but were no match for the WGC shooting machine. The Lady Braves, trailing by as many as 26 points at the 1054mark, came back within 10 points but couldn't pull out the win.
