This, plus a promise to indemnify distributors against damages, could leave the distributors free to distribute foreign publications without the "screening" threatened by Smith's. It was not the ideal way to avoid what many Britons were quick to call "censorship." 'There is need, said the New Statesman and Nation, for "a thorough overhaul of the law governing contempt of court, with its arbitrary powers . . . and its medieval refusal of all right of appeal."

...Thiokol Chemical Corp., which started out in 1929 as a producer of synthetic rubber, is now No. 3 in the industry, specializing in solid-fuel rockets. By adding an oxidizing (i.e., oxygen containing) agent to its synthetic rubber compounds, Thiokor turned the rubber into a highly concentrated fuel, ideal for such weapons as the Army's Nike, Hercules and Lacrosse missiles, the Air Force's Falcon air-to-air missile and the three-stage Lockheed X-17 research missile, which recently shot 600 miles above the earth.

...celluloid epic patterns set by D. W. Griffith in 1915 have changed very little: you just take some romantic, legendary, historical period like Reconstruction in the South, add a zesty love affair or three between ideal "period" characters to raise the story above documentary level, and interpret history in some engrossing way. Nowadays you also spend five million dollars or so and tell people movies are better than ever, in hope that you will make back the five million...
