Barbara Walters' speech impediment was fodder for the comedy crowd but didn't interfere with her career.

I am fascinated by the progress of toothpaste commercials in the US. Gleem was the first to introduce Hispanic actors who brushed their teeth "con Gleem" and a few were outraged. Eventually, blacks appeared - seems they brush their teeth too. Go figure! Now some toothpaste companies are using Down's Syndrome children and young adults. I wonder if this is an attempt at being totally PC or is it that handicapped children are no longer tucked away in the upstairs bedroom?
