To Walter, Charlie, et al, Whoa...about this "lying" business. I haven't seen any statement where the Pope said he didn't have PD. In fact, don't I remember--around the New Year or so (always lowing for my being mistaken due to PD's purported effect of short term memory loss)--a lot of people kvetching because the Pope referred to embracing this "blessing" of his? And they didn't regard it as such, etc.? And I didn't say Billy Graham had the right to tell us what to do; I'm with Dennis in thinking it's a standoff. As for it taking just a small amount of time, I don't think you realize that once he starts, there will be a constant stream of requests to comment, appear, etc. Those wielding guilt trips are like that. Do I wish all afflicted celebrities would lend their weight to the cause? Sure, the more the merrier, but I don't think it's right to imply they are ignoring moral imperatives or lying when they don't speak out, just because they are celebrities. Kathy Kunz
