A compact critique of Puritan standards and censorship arguing obscenity depends on social context not fixed law. It cites Prohibition as cautionary, notes the ambiguity of obscenity, and defends literature and medicine from blanket bans.
A McCall's writer argues that journalism and literature prizes often go to the wrong people. Judgment in competitions is subjective and arbitrary. The best work may be overlooked, much like choosing the loveliest from many contenders based on personal preference.
Open Forum letters praise the Long Beach Medical Association for urging doctors to join the Chamber of Commerce and to support United Way. The editor and readers discuss improvements for Pine Avenue, tax timing, and protections for seniors in care facilities.
From Our National Bureau Washington reports Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey acknowledges some liberal supporters feel alienated by his Vietnam views. The piece argues doctrinaire liberals ostracize any deviation and anticipate future shifts as political loyalties evolve.
A satirical tale frames George Hamilton as a dutiful son who stays home to support his mother rather than joining the war. A Kindly Philosopher mocks the notion, noting the twist of a deferment and a president’s invitation, while the narrator questions the fairy tale logic of heroism through avoidance.
Washington Star reports that Abe Fortas, named by Lyndon Johnson to the Supreme Court, has handled 15 cases with only three dissents. He appears aligned with the Warren court’s liberal path and has a high agreement rate among opinions.
Fortas shows liberal bends by upholding key Voting Rights Act elements and striking poll taxes while favoring congressional and state roles. He urges courts to interpret the Constitution to current civilization and cites Gideon as a precedent for evolving due process. He backs police questioning rights but admits obscenity remains a challenging, unresolved issue.
