Court rulings in the 1950s and 1960s severely constrained government censorship, though statewide regulation lasted until at least the 1980s.

Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons. Other states followed Maine's example. Chicago enacted the first censorship ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
