...gets into other papers. Last month, carrying a United Press International dispatch from Raleigh that mentioned Black five times, Independent Publisher James L. Moore made five pinpoint deletions. Fortnight ago, when the other representative from Kannapolis, Dwight Quinn-supply superintendent for Cannon's mills -killed a Black-introduced bill, the Independent story named the executioner but not the victim...
...Morrow has won occasionally but lost often-not because he is running any slower but because a new crop of sprinters has appeared to make a wholesale onslaught on the 9.3-sec. world record for the 100-yd. dash. So far this year three of Morrow's challengers-Bill Woodhouse, Ray Norton and Roscoe Cook-have equaled the world record...

But they will probably not be startled by the scriptwriter's discovery that every whore has a heart of gold...
...Rabbit Trap was apparently intended as a sleeper, but seems likely to wind up as what the exhibitors call a caboose-the back end of a double bill. In a way, it's a pity. As a social prescription, the story proposes a too simple cure for conformism, but it provides, as a sort of fable for the times, a useful moral: not all rabbits have long ears...
