Similar civil libertarianism has led Douglas to oppose legal curbs on pornography-not, as he reiterated in a recent dissent, "because I relish 'obscenity' but because I think the First Amendment bars all kinds of censorship."

Anticipation is an overrated pleasure. However, the play does have the abiding relish of Restoration comedy in that while the characters warily watch and fend each other off, their minds and their words are concupiscently active between the sheets...
