Girls Lean Back Everywhere: The Law Of Obscenity And The Assault On Genius By Edward De Grazia, Robert M. O'Neil

Cardozo Law Review

Such a headline from the 1990s reminds American readers that, however shameful may have been the treatment of obscenity and pornography in the United States during the past one hundred years, things could have been worse. Even so, the record here is hardly a source of pride-nor does the story have an altogether happy ending, if it has one at all. Yet it is a story that badly needs to be told, and never has it been better told than by Edward de Grazia in Girls Lean Back Everywhere.

Nationalism And The Right To Self-Determination: The Arab-Israeli Conflict, Malvina Halberstam

Articles

Self-determination is a slogan that has captured the imagination of people throughout the world. Numerous U.N. General Assembly resolutions have exalted self-determination, often above the fundamental rights specifically provided for in the U.N. Charter. Notwithstanding these resolutions, in practice, self-determination generally has been applied only to the dismemberment of colonial empires. Its universal application is neither possible nor desirable.

In the Arab-Israeli conflict, self-determination was never truly the issue. The conflict has been deliberately transformed into a claim for self-determination as a political tactic designed to gain the support of third world countries in the United Nations. The issues in …

La Liberté D'Expression Et La Dignité De La Personne Devant La Cour Suprême Du Canada, Mark A. Drumbl, Ian Lee, Martha Rafuse

Scholarly Articles

Although the principle of human dignity is not expressly recognized in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it cannot be denied that it is an important value which underlies many of the rights and liberties which receive explicit constitutional protection. In this article, the authors examine the manner in which the courts, and in particular the Supreme Court of Canada, have taken this fundamental value into consideration when determining the limits that may be imposed on freedom of expression. The authors suggest that the court's jurisprudence does not reveal a coherent approach to the resolution of conflicts which arise …
