The seven articles in this collection deal with theoretical and practical freedom of speech issues. Topics covered are: the United States Supreme Court, motion picture censorship, and the color line; judicial decision making; the established scientific community's suppression of the ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky; the problems of avant-garde jazz, as they relate to freedom of expression and rhetorical art; the Supreme Court and the First Amendment to the Constitution, 1978-79; freedom of the press as an eroding legal concept; and Demosthenes' viable defense of free speech in civil service. A bibliography of materials pertaining to freedom of speech is also included in the collection. (FL)
