...signs of a new restrictive mood toward pornography have begun to appear. The publishers of an explicitly illustrated edition of the pornography commission's report itself were indicted by grand juries in Dallas and San Diego. The New York City Criminal Court convicted the editor and publisher of Screw, the nation's No. 1 underground sex tabloid, of publishing obscenity.
