To that end, Bennett cut the work week of federal prison personnel from 60 hours to 40, raised average pay from $1,680 a year to $6,000. Armed guards are giving way to a higher proportion of specialists in remedial reading and vocational training. Overcrowding has ended with 14 new institutions, including camps and reformatories.

Hubley regards commercial success with a suspicion born of the knowledge of its dangers for his art. He saw mass production turn the Disney studio into a factory. He watched success transform his McGoo from a Babbitt into a sadist-joke. And worst of all, as supervisor of animation at UPA and then director of Storyboard Productions, his own company, he has felt the expansionist pressures of a commercial world forcing him into administrative positions, removing him from the creative work he loves...
