...disagree with the majority's judgment that Playboy's editorial treatment of women is often sexist. We did not, however, find the ad sufficiently offensive to merit an exception to our general standards of advertising acceptability.

Beyond that, most of these films deal in the search for roots that they obviously hope will sustain their new creative venturings?and perhaps make up for the general neglect of their nation's aesthetically usable past...
...tribute to the universality of his satire. No one remembers W.H. Smith any more (the newspaper-stand magnate Gilbert caricatures as Sir Joseph Porter)--except the tourists to Great Britain who still see his name on every other newsstand. But no one can miss this general broadside against sinecures of any kind...
