"The ladios (Miss Hurst, Helen King, author of 'Doodles'; and Dr. Helen Hendin, psychiatrist) went into an impromtu discussion of handwriting analysis which apparently is in the realm of 'safe' topics and to my amusement, at Miss Hurst's prodding, Miss King chose an example of her experiences in her work from a matter that had to do with a homosexual personality. Probably innocent, but I imagine it must have made some executive itch a little.
"Miss Hurst seems to have ended the show a little earlier also in order to make the speech she did at the end of the program, once again in terms of apology to the audience for the censorship she felt had been imposed on an important human question.
"Maybe the station will get more than one note like mine: 'I would like to protest the exercise of censorship on today's SHOWCASE program. I feel that there is only one condition which all of us need fear and that is ignorance itself. I hope this point of view will be considered in terms of future programming.
