Minnesota (a newspa- per case establishing the no prior restraint principle), the Miracle and Lady Chatterley's Lover film cases, and the Winters case relat- ing to comic books, all of which have had a significant l'ole in protecting the freedom of books. Other chapters pre- sent the principal judicial opinions on the censorship of books, a variety of writings on private pressure groups, studies of the prob- lem of defining obscenity, essays on political censorship, collections of statements by au- thors and writers' groups and by librarians and library associations, a group of essays on the censorship of textbooks, and two illumi- nating assemblages of writings on censorship in Ireland and under Fascism and Commu- nism. cache/crl-11409.pdf txt/crl-11409.txt
