...issue fences to please all of their clients all of the time. True, my cartoons are syndicated; however, before they are sent out they are used first in my home paper (the St. Louis Globe Democrat). So my cartoons are not made solely for syndication purposes. Issues today are often too subtle to be called black or white; and I, for one, am not going to imagine they are black or white just for the sake of creating a clever cartoon, right or wrong...

Backing them up is a promising and fast-rising crop of newer stars: Lucine Amara, Anna Moffo, Gloria Davy, Leontyne Price, Birgit Nilsson, Anita...
...parties. Because Harry Black is just a potboiler, rather than an "art film," the liberties taken in the picture point up the fact long recognized in Hollywood but only recently acknowledged: the much-publicized Production Code, which once bulldogged producers and exhibitors, is being observed these days about as often as the whooping crane. In the past few months, Eric Johnston's Production Code Review Board has passed out its seal of approval to these films...
