When should a newspaper print profanity? For 125 years the answer of the Montgomery Advertiser (circ. 56,266) had been: never. But when Alabama's Governor Gordon Persons publicly and profanely denounced the Advertiser's Political Writer Geoffrey Birt, it seemed to Editor Grover C. Hall Jr. that it was time for a change.

Nowadays, most Hollywood directors are apt to shoot one scene scores of times; but a lot of TV programs have happily reversed progress and gone back to the old slapdash days.
