US: HUGH DOWNS INTERVIEW

Sept. 24 will mark Hugh Downs's final appearance on ABC's 20/20.  On it, he
tells the co-anchor Barbara Walters that marijuana should be legalized.  "I
poked at [saying it] a little bit in years past," says Downs, who is
particularly interested in the medical benefits of the drug.  "But the roof
fell in so hard that I decided to back off."
