Lalonde) Eleanor Johnstone just resigned from the Ontario Film Review Board (the Citizen, Dec.23 page B6) in disagreement with the direction the Board appears to be taking - she apparently said that "scenes from The Piano ... which depict violence against women should never have been allowed, adding, "that kind of movie is just perpetuating that type of violence"". This type of reasoning is basically flawed. To think that she had been appointed and given powers of censorship over what Ontarians are to be allowed to see!!!! -- Michel R.
