"I recognize censorship as a danger . . . I also believe that a degree of censorship is inevitable. The reason why I believe this is that some human beings have an impulse to harm others, and that we have a problem of hate. . . . The utterance of mind sex, in pornography and near pornography for instance, is both lucrative, and a means of satisfying the unconscious impulse to build one's own identity at the expense of others." The liberal mind is a victim of good- natured belief in human nature, ignoring the destructive evil of hate in sex- expression.

Contrast in the extent of formal censorship of television in Great Britain between B.B.C. and I.T.V.

In order to discharge its duties, I.T.V. has set up a machinery for censorship.

"The inescapable conclusion seems to be that the British system of suppressing publicity during the pendency of a criminal trial affords an accused in Britain a substantially fairer trial than his American counterpart, and the American system of dealing with prejudicial publicity, in its present form, is inadequate to afford an accused a fair trial in the face of heavy news coverage."
Hyman, Lawrence W. "Obscene Words and the Function of Literature." College English, 28:432-34, March 1967. H62
