...revised Code, and the Board's approval of the controversial Baby Doll, however, is a sign that the industry is freeing itself from the undue influence of particular groups in regard for a broader popular taste and artistic integrity. Perhaps with time and with liberal support, the industry will assert itself towards removing these hindrances to free expression and will raise the stature of the American cinema to a creative art. As Sam Goldwyn said, speaking for the industry, "We should and must have the same right as any other medium to say what we think, and to show what...
...poor excuse. The works, for example, of Ibsen, Lorca, and Yeats include many of which are eminently suitable for staging at the University.

Popular pressure cannot determine the Senate's course, but it sometimes has made that body aware of a crisis, and in critical times the upper House has moved quickly, lest the deeply respected force of law be shattered.
