Federal Obscenity Laws

Famous quotes containing the words federal, obscenity and/or laws:

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art—or almost the only stuff.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    All over this land women have no political existence. Laws pass over our heads that we can not unmake. Our property is taken from us without our consent. The babes we bear in anguish and carry in our arms are not ours.
    Lucy Stone (1818–1893)
