Perhaps the sole result of this ecclesiastical protest will be advertising for Mr. Maxwell Anderson and other writers who prefer their profanity straight. To some people it may be cheering to encounter such positive evidence of the fact that the ancient aristocracy of "cusswords" is at last emerging from dark corners and being received publicly. Time was when all the stage knew was the use of the least harmful of all emphatic monosyllables solely for comic purposes. Writers like Mr. George Moore who perpetually deplore how foreign words and phrases are emasculating the English language, should be pleased to witness...
...glorification of the Negro now an accepted policy of your magazine? I had hoped that after the protest of one Southerner you might show some consideration for the sensibilities of our people by the discontinuance of your practice of referring to the colored man as "mister."

Last week she raised her voice in piteous protest: "There are no great national parks in the East. A 100,000-acre track in the Everglades set aside as a sanctuary for wild life would be a primeval forest appearing almost exactly as it did when Columbus set foot on the North American continent . . . The areas most suitable for the location of a bird sanctuary are worthless for agricultural purposes. To attempt to cut up the Big Cypress Swamp...
