...along with the car radio in a voice that sounded like a gargling cello. He pulled out a great smokestack of a cigar, passed it beneath his nose, pierced one end, lit it, puffed three times, closed his eyes, leaned back and sighed, "Ahhh, good!" Basking in a lazy curl of smoke, he mused: "At every concert I leave a lot to the moment. I must have the unexpected, the unforeseen. I want to risk, to dare.

Because the Constitution is involved, the community is the whole country; the standard must be "national"-as defined by the Supreme Court. As a result, the nine learned Justices (average age: 63) are apparently doomed to curl up with every allegedly dirty book in the country and subjectively decide on its merits for themselves...
