...vigorously opposed running the Screw ad. But I also oppose the majority's sweeping and rigidly determinist condemnation of advertising as an outgrowth of capitalism. Of course exploitation of women is to be deplored. Perhaps for porno to be eradicated citizens will have to be taught or forced to be free, but advertising columns are as important as editorial columns in the educational process...
...decided neither to accept the advertiser's money nor to give him space. Among these ads was an order-blank for the South African government's Krugerrand gold coins, a solicitation for Radcliffe women to pose nude for Playboy magazine, and a subscription blank for Bang magazine, another porno publication.
