...will be held accountable for our thoughts and our ideas. We cannot distribute racist vitriol to thousands of people in newspapers, because no newspaper would print it. Unbridled enthusiasts of freedom of speech implicitly rely on the forces of accountability or capitalism to do the dirty work of censorship for them. More free speech does not to do necessarily make us richer in freedom...
Part of Hitler's cultural program was the extirpation of what he called degenerate art--essentially, the kind of modernism of which Beckmann, in the early 1930s, was an acknowledged leader. Thus, soon after Hitler came to power in 1933, an entire apparatus of state censorship rolled over on Beckmann. His work was systematically removed from German museums; within five years, 600 of his paintings had been confiscated. After he and his wife fled, he lived and painted in Amsterdam for 10 years, using an old tobacco storeroom for a studio, and then in 1947 went to the U.S., where...
...inane but harmless column when it was brought to their attention, I was punished and forced to stop writing freely.

Signed into law by President Clinton on Feb. 8, after being passed by an admittedly Net-illiterate Congress, the CDA was supposed to squelch online pornography and make the Net safe for children by banning "indecent" content. But the legislation was so vague...
...cast a vote for free speech that could later be construed as a vote for pornography. The Administration, for its part, seems to be trying to have it both ways. Two weeks ago, Vice President Al Gore told graduating seniors at M.I.T. that "fear of chaos cannot justify unwarranted censorship of free speech." Yet after the court ruling last week, the President issued a statement reaffirming his conviction that "our Constitution allows us to help parents by enforcing this Act" and promising "to do everything I can in my Administration to give families every available tool to protect their children...
