An extensive review of the problem of obscenity as considered by the American courts. The author concludes that we need to know more about the effects of obscene publications and suggests an Anglo- American study of the problem. He considers the Supreme Court's use of "contemporary standards," its difficulties in defining the term "obscene," and its use of the criterion of "social importance." Despite the Court's denial that obscenity is constitutionally protected, the acts of the Court say it is protected. Konvitz asks for basic sympathy for the Court as it continues to strive for a solution to this difficult problem.
