Under the longstanding equal-time rule, broadcasters who made time available to one candidate were required to do so for all the others, no matter how minor. Thus, the candidate for, say, the Antivivisectionist Party was entitled to the same exposure as a Democrat or Republican. Designed to encourage debate, the rule actually stifled it. The networks avoided the burden of providing time to marginal candidates by giving less time to any of them...
...permanently reformed and enriched by his advanced ear for harmony and color. Still, there are those who insist that Wagner's music should be outgrown by 20, like acne, an opinion that seems as eccentric as Wagner's own sham intellectualism. He was everything from eugenicist to antivivisectionist to amateur Buddhist, but recent and serious studies of his work still call him as much a philosopher as a composer...

But Antivivisectionist Hearst, whose fees helped pay for the project, was never told. *For producing, directing and starring in the motion picture of the same name, a satire on the life of The Chief, Orson Welles suffered the nearest thing to excommunication that Mr. Hearst could inflict. For years the offending genius could not be mentioned at all in Hearst-papers...
...Angeles, such shenanigans were an old story. Antivivisectionist campaigns had denied an adequate supply of pound animals to researchers, and work was slowed in some of the most advanced research-much of it (for the Atomic Energy Commission) into the effects of radiation. Dr. Harry Goldblatt, who was shot at in 1948 by a fanatic dog-lover, was also hamstrung in his efforts to develop an artificial heart-lung apparatus...
