D IS FOR "DAY," NOT "DRUGS"
An exclusive private school is demanding an explanation why its name
appears in Steven Soderbergh's new film "Traffic," which features a
fictional American drug czar and his drug-addicted daughter.
The daughter of Michael Douglas' character is identified in the movie as a
Cincinnati Country Day School student. But the filmmakers never sought or
received permission to use the name of the 75-year-old school, headmaster
Charles Clark said yesterday. The headmaster said he wants the school's
name deleted from the movie and wants the filmmakers, USA Films, to apologize.
