...Seeger has a major failing, it is not his voice, but a restricted repertory, a failing common to most American folksingers, including Odetta, Woody Guthrie, and even Leadbelly.

The voluntary Production Code which is "not of this world" is the most obvious instance, contributing in part to the idealization of life which has in the past characterized American films. Not to be overlooked are the various other minority pressure groups, such as the Legion...
