...pornography - the books, films, plays and magazines hawked on count less street corners with lurid sales pitches promising all manner of sex, all imaginable deviations, combinations and permutations. Ruling on three cases involving no fewer than 144 publications, the court handed down some bad news for U.S. smut peddlers...
...Liberals and Tories were relieved. The Munsinger case had simply become too hot to handle. The Tories' fire-breathing chieftain John Diefenbaker sounded strangely subdued in Parliament when he damned Liberal Justice Minister Lucien Cardin, who started the fuss in the first place, for "smear, scuttlebutt, slander and smut." Diefenbaker did not even try for a vote of confidence.

Because the Constitution is involved, the community is the whole country; the standard must be "national"-as defined by the Supreme Court...
This latest morsel from the previously published-only-in-Paris works of Olympia Press will disappoint smut lovers everywhere. It is at best a poor scraping from the bottom of the Candy barrel. Mamie Mason, Harlem hostess with the mostest, sets out to solve the Race Problem in her own forthright fashion by aiding and abetting two-tone cohabitation as widely and as often as possible among her vast collage of acquaintances. As a single, running, off-color joke, the novel turns out to be neither very funny nor very dirty. The level of its humor is set by Negro...
