...Censorship, whether by the Supreme Court or by Hitler Youth burning books, is the same thing. Self-appointed censors -the Supreme Court, the Post Office Department, etc.-are, in this respect, morally equivalent to the Hitler Youth, the Inquisition and other charming organizations. I find it disgusting...
...Democratic nomination for the city council. His victory was swung by a Negro ward that gave him a lopsided 990 ballots v. 114 for two white rivals. Nonetheless, most Negroes were apparently voting for Holley not because he is a Negro but because they-like many whites-respect his long record of participation in community activities. The potential Negro vote may be greatly shrunk by political apathy, born of centuries of disenfranchisement and ignorance, and mirrored in the fact that still only 41% of eligible Southern Negroes have registered...
...superior cat's tale with tinny sentimentalizing, first in some trumpery about shipping Baby Elsa off to captivity in Rotterdam, again in subtle but fairly insistent reminders that Mrs. Adamson craves an outlet for her maternal instinct. More often, though, the film treats animals with deep respect unspoiled by anthropomorphic cuteness; a baby elephant, a furry, gin-thirsty little hyrax (similar to a guinea pig) and a basketful of scrappy jungle kittens have natural charm enough to soften up the most inflexible zoophobe. Born Free strikingly reaffirms the lesson taught by Elsa-that loyalty, gratitude and affability are traits...
Hullabaloo and Jimmy Dean will be silenced as well. So will Sammy Davis, which recovered from its calamitous early weeks in every respect but ratings (it stood 96th of 104 at last calculation). Similarly, most of ABC's heavily shilled "second season" has had it: Blue Light, The Baron, Henry Phyfe. Some of the situation comedies, such as Gilligan's Island and Corner Pyle, are apparently too bad to die, but a few of the most mindless, among them Mona McCluskey and The Smothers Brothers, ran out of gags-just as My Mother the Car has mercifully...
...bomb exploded in all directions. Lawrence left 14 brooding, contentious novels, dozens of excited essays, scores of loose, somewhat lumpy poems, and hundreds of febrile, fretful letters. He painted, occasionally, as he wrote, in an earnest, impetuous manner. All of these disjecta membra have been examined with fascination and respect by a large number of critics, biographers and memoirists, but they have all but ignored the skeleton in Lawrence's literary closet: he was also a playwright...
