...clones of affectless violence, Black Shirt, S.L.A. or Brigata Rossa. It is an uncannily predictive drawing. "The Mickey Mouse face," Steinberg remarks, "is sexless, neither black nor white, without character or age: for me it represents the junk-food people, the spoilt young ones who have all their experiences, inferior as they are, handed to them on a plate." An encyclopedic disgust pervades these drawings. But it is not a common emotion in Steinberg's work.

The 42-minute color movie describes a fictional controversy that develops when a high school student committee invites a scientist to explain his belief that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. The speaker, who is never actually seen or heard, is finally banned by the school board...

The notion becomes even more unbelievable when you consider that, from the aliens' point of view, we are inferior creatures. Just think what we do to our guinea pigs and chimpanzees. When the aliens courteously return--without a scratch on them--all the human specimens that they had kidnapped in order to examine, it makes you wonder what we did to deserve such good neighbors. Close Encounters...
