The Postman
Description
An elderly postman ("Censor") tears up a letter that contains news of the War. He looks towards the three men that the letter was directed to (Slacker, Striker and Politician respectively), who are lazing on the veranda of a house labelled "Australia", and decides that the news would either be of no interest or disturb them.
