...probably noticed that some people devote themselves to propositions. Ralph Ginzburg and staff, formally of Eros, and now of Fact, are "dedicated to the proposition that a great magazine, in its quest for truth, will dare to defy not only Convention, not only Big Business, not only the Church and the State, but, if necessary its readers." In other words, Ginzburg thinks he's a hero. He thinks his magazine has something new, something full of wild, wonderful, and galloping anomie. He's wrong. Fact contains 64 pages of the sweatiest and dullest ever, and Ginzburg still wants an exorbitant...
...rest of the articles are just as disgusting. Warren Boroson claims that Warren G. Harding was one-quarter Negro. O.K. So what? Psychiatrist Alfred Auerback worries about "fight mental health groups," because "educated people pay attention to their views. For example, in the February, 1962 Readers's Digest..."

Body sentenced Eros's publisher to five years in federal prison and fined him and his three publishing firms...
Besides Eros, Ginzburg also published a scatological newsletter called Liaison and a book, The Housewife's Handbook on Selective Promiscuity, written by a promiscuous housewife. U.S. District Attorney Drew J. T. O'Keefe agreed with the defense contention that Ginzburg was not the ordinary, back-alley sort of smut-peddler. "He's worse," said O'Keefe, and asked the court for "the most substantial sentence it possibly can give." Ginzburg said he would appeal...
...dying man who travels about the city visiting friends, pawnbrokers, even a synagogue, trying to raise money to send his idiot son to relatives in California. He gets the money, but before he can put his son on the train he has to struggle with a ticket collector named Ginzburg-who turns out to be Death...
