...Sept. 22 issue of your magazine comments on a recent opinion written by me in a majority decision of the Michigan Supreme Court in a case involving nudists.

The basic idea is a fine one: a white convict and a black one escape from a chain gang together. They hate one another as only a poor white and a down-trodden negro can; but they must co-operate in even the simplest act of daily life...
