| Sumario: | The article reflects on the statement of "Herald Tribune" writer Marya Mannes that the huge sales of obscene books "Harlow," "Candy," "Here Goes Kitten" and "The Group," by Mary McCarthy encourage a nation of Peeping Toms. She said that the question raised by books is not censorship but of taste which she believes should be divested to social mores. It opposes the use censorship to punish publishers of obscene publications. It says that the failure of the U.S. Supreme Court to distinguish pornography and freedom of speech will proliferate Peeping Toms. |
