...events of the past year have given Americans a vivid example of how vital a free press is to a free society. One cannot exist without the other. The only source of information the people have, other than "official" Government information, is the news media. The press is the only check the people have on the actions of those who represent them in Government...
...Years After One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, which will be initially published (in Russian) by Macmillan of London this week, is described by Medvedev as a Festschrift (German for a written homage). In part, it is a vivid account of an artist who has struggled to write and publish under extraordinarily hazardous conditions.

She talks Lucifer's regional vice president (John Clemens) into giving her a chance to wallow in lust be fore being whisked off to her fate. The film is all about her wallowing, rendered in vivid detail by Director Gerard Damiano, the man responsible for pornography's biggest-gross film, Deep Throat. Having titillated curious audiences and outraged the courts with his previous effort, Damiano has now decided to teach a moral lesson, a touching presumption. What his sermonette comes down to is that the wages...
