...would continue to provide prison terms of up to six months for pornographers who purvey to children. In Minister Thestrup's opinion, however, the rektor's observation about the normal reaction to pornography applies equally well to adults and is the assumption behind his bill. When they are freely available, he believes, "pornographic books and pictures very quickly become boring and distasteful to adults with a normal sexual life." He is backed up by a four-member professional commission that spent two years studying the subject. The public's interest in pornography, he maintains, is mostly...

A large sum in a Depression year, and the good citizens of Glory aren't about to let a freshly pardoned convict walk off with it. "When I hit town at sunup I heared it," says a taleteller. "Talk.
