High Court hears adult right to buy obscene works
The Supreme Court was asked to rule that any adult may obtain obscene material from a bookseller if minors are kept out and public sensibilities are not offended. Lawyer Stanley Fleishman argued an adult has a right to read anything, while a Los Angeles bookseller faced California obscenity convictions. The Kaplan case questions whether community standards should be national or local in defining obscenity, amid related arguments on theater showings and public display restrictions.
