• What censorship accomplishes, creating an unreal and hypocritical mythology, fomenting an attraction for forbidden fruit, inhibiting the creative minds among us and fostering an illicit trade. Above all, it curtails the right of the individual, be he creator or consumer, to satisfy his intellect and his interest without harm. In our law-rooted society, we are not the keeper of our brother's morals - only of his rights.

Franklin Toker has performed an invaluable service.

• A Seed for Contemplation:

This allows him to take stock of his circumstances with an objective mind. A creative person often gets three-dimensional answers to his problems. -.
