...Ibsen's A Doll's House, and Nora's challenge has not been met in the theater. Ibsen himself could have written a sequel that began with Nora slamming the door and journeying forth to mold her destiny. Ibsen never wrote that play, and no modern playwright has made a serious attempt at it. Instead, women have been perceived as types-almost anything but the full human being Nora craved to become.

"If it is right that Ralph Ginzburg go to jail then in all justice the same court that sentenced him should proceed at once to close down 90 per cent of the movies now playing and the newspapers that carry their advertising. Compared to the usual run of entertainment in this country, Ginzburg's publications and his ads are on a par with the National Geographic."
