http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?category=0&id=32468

Most of the cast of the upcoming SF movie Serenity told SCI FI Wire that they have signed on for two more movies if the film version of Joss Whedon's canceled Fox TV series Firefly is a hit. They include Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, Sean Maher, Jewel Staite, Gina Torres and Morena Baccarin. Star Nathan Fillion wouldn't say whether he's signed for more films, but writer/director Whedon said that the entire cast would likely return if a sequel is warranted.

Lordy - Here we go....

Miers said to be on `extreme end' of pro-life
movement

DALLAS -
(KRT) - As political activists rush to mine Supreme Court nominee
Harriet Miers' slender public record, a former campaign manager says she opposed
abortion rights while running for Dallas City Council in 1989.

"She is on the extreme end of the anti-choice movement," said Lorlee Bartos,
who managed Miers' first and only political campaign and said they discussed
abortion once during the race.

"I think Harriet's belief was pretty strongly felt," Bartos said Monday. "I
suspect she is of the same cloth as the president."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said she couldn't comment on Bartos'
recollection but added that President Bush "does not have a litmus test for his
judicial nominees."

Miers, a corporate lawyer who served on the City Council from 1989 to 1991,
is something of a cipher as a judicial candidate, having never served on the
bench or compiled extensive legal writings. That lack of a paper trail proved
more vexing Monday to social conservatives, while many Democrats and liberal
activists held their fire.

Bartos said Miers told her she was "pro-choice in her youth" but underwent "a
born-again, profound experience" that caused her to oppose abortion.
