Big Brother Not Needed.
Heinen, Edward
English Journal, v72 n6 p42-43 Oct 1983
Cites the recent United States State Department's labeling of recent Canadian films--one on nuclear war and two on acid rain--as political propaganda as a sign of the need to review the nature of propaganda. Suggests that teaching students to intelligently evaluate propaganda is preferable to submitting to government dictum. (MM)
