Ditto for Dennis Weaver.
One of the great deep thinkers of our time.

He thought enough, and was compassionate enough, to be a vegetarian.
That gives him a leg up in my book.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap
Though millions recognize Dennis Weaver for his roles in the
long-running television series "Gunsmoke" and "McCloud" and, more
recently, as the host of the Western Channel, the most important work
of his life has not been performed in front of a camera. Since the
early 1980s, he has dedicated himself to serving humanity and the
environment. Now, Weaver shares the story of his life--his childhood
and military years, his career as an entertainer (which includes a
fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood), and his more recent
success as a spokesperson and role model for social annd environmental
concerns. His ultimate goal: to remind us that only through collective
spiritual growth and understanding the interrelationship of all living
systems, will humanity consciously step forward to preserve our world
for future generations.
