I think the Reviews review of one of the current paperbacks attacking our whole way of like was responsible, alert and proper journalism. It Is unbelievable that a state official would take It upon himself to ban a newspaper from the Capitol such as Mr. Toronto has done.

Its heartening to see a state agency elect to face their problem sooner. . .instead of later. y |
