It is his quality of moral radiance that early led him to thickly sentimental crusader roles in such films as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life. "But when I got back from the war in 1946," Stewart recalls, "people didn't want the Mr. Smith kind of movie any more, and I refused to make war pictures." He had made one memorable western, Destry Rides Again (1939), but had not given much thought to making more until Universal got him into something called Winchester 73. Says he: "It was a desperation move that happened to pay off."

Somehow, Mandela's spirit of reconciliation and moral radiance was able to guide this transition, avoiding the strong temptations to demand social justice alongside of political justice, an admittedly high price for adherence to a nonviolent approach to conflict resolution.

emitting a beam of ethics


Explanation:
to succeed in emitting a beam of ethics within our Society
http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept?cp=4504&langcode=e...

The outline of an object must be visible through a test piece between 2 and 4 millimetres thick placed in a dark room 50 centimetres from a new lamp enclosed in a box and emitting a beam of light of between 1350 and 1500 lumens.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:...
Το περίγραμμα ενός αντικειμένου πρέπει να είναι ορατό μέσω ενός δείγματος πάχους περιλαμβανομένου μεταξύ 2 και 4 χιλιοστομέτρων που είναι τοποθετημένο εντός σκοτεινού δωματίου σε απόσταση 50εκ. από καινούρια λυχνία που είναι τοποθετημένη εντός κυτίου και που ακτινοβολεί φωτεινή πηγή 1 350 έως 1 500 κηρίων.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:...

Το συγκεκριμένο παράδειγμα αφορά κάποιο αντικείμενο, αλλα κατα τη γνωμη μου αν ο ποιητής θέλει να δώσει έμφαση στο λόγο του, μπορεί να το πει κι 'ετσι.
