Catholic lawyer recalls real story behind Oscar nominated
.... By lEONARD KLIE ..........
Catholic News Service
BRANFORD, Conn. (CNS)
Catholic attorney Walter
Bansley was surprised when
a trial he once argued became
the basis for a Hollywood mo-
tion picture.
Bansley was a special pros-
ecutor for the U.S. Marine
Corps when he participated
in the case that provided the
plot for "A:" Few Good Men,"
recently nominated for an
Oscar as best picture.
In 1986, Bansley was sent
to the Guantanamo Bay Naval
Air Station in Cuba to defend
Marine Lt. William Adams,
who allegedly ordered several
men in his platoon to perform
a disciplinary "code red" on a
private who reportedly
shirked duties and leaked in-
formation about a potentially
volatile international inci-
dent.
The private almost died
after being assaulted by 10
Marines. During the case,
which was later dismissed on
other grounds, Bansley ar-
gued that Adams could not be
blamed for the attack because
the men were acting on im-
plied, not direct, orders.
Bansley said he does not
consider this case the most
'Howard's End,' 'Lorenzo's Oil' win Awards
NEW YORK (CNS)
"Howards End" and
"Lorenzo's Oil" are among
the movies named to receive
1903 Christopher Awards.
The Christopher Awards
are given annually to honor
producers, directors, writers
and illustrators whose work
exemplifies "the highest val-
ues of the human spirit," ac-
cording to the New York-
based Christophers.
Father John Catoir, director
of The Christophers, in an an-
nouncement of this year's
awards, praised the winners
for using "their creativity and
God-given talents to educate
and enlighten audiences as
well as entertain them."
Four movies, seven televi-
sion specials, 10 hooks and
two outstanding individual
achievement awards were to
be recognized at an award
ceremony Feb. 25 in New
York. Winners receive bronze
medallions.
"Howard's End," which has
been nominated for an Oscar
for best picture, is based on
E.M. Forester's novel of class
divisions and human bonds.
"Lorenzo's Oil" is the story of
a mother and father who,
through perseverance, help
find a treatment for their son
diagnosed with a rare and ul-
timately fatal disease.
Also to be awarded are
"Enchanted April," which
deals with friendships and
the rediscovery of marital
love, and a film based on the
hit Broadway musical on
South African apartheid,
"Sarafina!"
In the television category,
NBC won three awards in-
cluding one for "Sister Thea:
Her Own Story," a documen-
tary on Franciscan Sister
Thea Bowman who worked
for the rights of women and
African- Americans until her
death from cancer in 1990.
Other NBC award-winning
programs included "A Town
Torn Apart" and "Jonathan:
The Boy Nobody Wanted."
CBS won two awards for
"Miles from Nowhere" and
"Against Her Will: An Inci-
dent in Baltimore." ABC won
for "The Broken Cord" and
the Independent Network
won an award for
"Father/Son."
Book authors honored in-
clude Marian Wright Edel-
man, for "The Measure of Our
Success: A Letter to My Chil-
dren and Yours," and Eric
Silver, for "The Book of the
Just: The Unsung Heroes who
Rescued the Jews from
Hitler."
Dr. Vincent Fontana, medi-
cal director and chief pedia-
trician of the New York
Foundling Hospital, is to re-
ceive the James Keller Youth
Award for 30 years of com-
mitment to children and for
his pioneering efforts in the
advocacy of child abuse pre-
vention.
Named for the founder of
The Christophers, the award
is given to individuals who
have made a significant con-
tribution to the well-being of
young people.
The Christophers are also
honoring Robert Schwartz,
president, CEO and chairman
of the board of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company,
with a Life Achievement
Award for his corporate lead-
ership and community ser-
vice.
Father Catoir said he hopes
the awards remind the recipi-
ents "to keep striving for ex-
cellence" because "the world
needs their best efforts."
exciting of his career. "I must
state candidly that my recent
notoriety embarrasses me,"
he said. "I would prefer to be
known for other accomplish-
ments, but Hollywood has
sealed my fate, at least for the
time being."
Actor Tom Cruise plays a
character based loosely on
Bansley in "A Few Good
Men." Bansley said Cruise's
portrayal of himself bore
some surprising similarities.
A high school athlete,
Bansley said he often met
with other trial lawyers on
the softball field and basket-
ball court like the Cruise
character did in the movie.
He also commented on
Cruise's partiality for Yoo-
Hoe chocolate drink in the
movie.
