NEW YORK (AP) — ABC has de
cided to broadcast portions of an inter
view w ith President Clinton conducted by
Leonardo DiCaprio that had raised ques
tions about why a movie star was fulfill
ing a role usually handled by a journalist.
The network announced its decision in
a terse news release on Tuesday, a day af
ter ABC News executives screened the
March 31 interview.
DiCaprio, chairperson of the Earth
Day 2000 celebration committee, talked
to Clinton about global wanning. The in
terview will appear as part of an Earth
Day special produced by ABC News on
Saturday, April 22 at 8 p.m. ET.
“It was an editorial judgment made
here w ith many senior management peo
ple involved,” said ABC News
spokesperson Eileen Murphy. “Everyone
is comfortable with the decision. But
we’re not going to
discuss our editorial
process.”
It’s still not clear
how much of the re
ported 20-minute
chat between the Ti
tanic star and Clinton
will make it on the
air. Murphy said the
final product “will meet w ith ABC News
editorial standards.”
“In the end,” she said, “we’ll be
judged by what is on the air.”
Many journalists within ABC,
DICAPRIO
particularly in the Washington bureau,
were angered when they heard DiCaprio
was granted the interview.
There w as some dispute last week be
tween ABC, the White House and Di-
Caprio’s representatives over how it w as
set up. ABC News President David West-
in said DiCaprio was visiting at the White
House’s request, with the understanding
that the president might appear on film
walking through the White House with
the actor.
The White House said ABC had re
quested an interview and DiCaprio’s
spokesperson, Ken Sunshine, said the ac
tor was prepared to conduct one.

Jackson will come to Wallingford
this month in support of a bill that
would force the town to close gov

Wallingford is the only Con

close for the civil rights leader’s
birthday, which has been a state
holiday since 1986.
Last week, a state legislative

DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — “I Love Lucy” fans

episode in which Lucille Ball gets a new job at a
chocolate factory and can’t quite keep up with the as

Durango-based Rocky Mountain Chocolate Fac
tory is introducing a line of candies next month called
Lucy’s Chocolate Factory Candy.
It’s based on the episode in which Ball tries to box
chocolates on an assembly line but can’t keep up, so
she shoves the candy in her mouth.
The terms of the deal announced Monday with
Rocky Mountain, the estates of Lucille Ball and Desi
Arnaz, and CBS Worldwide Inc. were not disclosed.
“To put Lucy together with chocolates and create
a lasting tribute to my parents and ‘I Love Lucy,’ their
legendary television show, has been a dream of mine
for over a decade,” Lucie Arnaz said in a statement.
