Despite facing racism, Thurgood Marshall rose through the ranks to become the first black judge to be on the Supreme Court. Before becoming a justice, Marshall's most important case as a lawyer was the landmark civil rights case Brown v. the Board of Education.

Shielding our right to know

By Christopher Consolino | Feb. 23, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Reporters Judith Miller of the New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine are currently being held in contempt of court after refusing to testify in a federal investigation on the leaking of CIA agent Valerine Plame's identity to the press. The recent high-profile U.S. District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision forcing the two reporters to reveal their confidential sources in this case marks a continuing trend of the government to use newspapers as intelligence agencies, while giving the courts and/or Congress a chance to set a precedent for protecting news sources in the courtroom.

The main reason director Francis Lawrence's "Constantine," an adaptation of the comic book series "Hellblazer," gets away with casting Hollywood's Most Overrated, Keanu Reeves, as its leading man, is the simple fact that Reeves plays a character that would be completely believable as his real-life persona. Could we see Reeves…chain smoking? Making dry yet knife-edged remarks about mental patients? Acting mildly misogynistic? I think so.
