Van Alstyne, William W. "The First Amendment and the Suppression of Warmongering Propaganda in the United States: Comments and Footnotes." Law and Contemporary Problems, 31:530-52, Summer 1966. V3
"I cannot agree . . . that there are no substantial constitutional issues which hedge the power of government significantly to curtail warmongering propaganda within the United States, to control the domestic consumption of subversive or defamatory propaganda sent from abroad, or even to silence its own officialdom. Beyond that, I despair of attempts to legislate virtuous speech in debates of public policy, and I doubt whether the policies of government will permit the merely neutral application of anti- propaganda laws."
van den Haag, Ernest. "The Case for Pornography Is the Case for Censorship and Vice Versa." Esquire, 67(5):134-35, May 1967. V4
While recognizing the need that some people have for pornography, the author also sees the need for censorship, provided it is limited to protecting "vulnerable people from injury or, at least, from distressing shock to their sensibilities." He concludes: "If we indulge pornography, and do not allow censorship to restrict it, our society at best will become ever more coarse, brutal, anxious, indifferent, deindividualized, hedonistic; at worst its ethics will disintegrate altogether."

An account of the widespread censorship of literature taking place in South Africa as evidenced in the Pretoria commercial publication, Index of Objectionable Literature, a list of some 11,000 titles covering ten years of government censorship. "It is important to realize that in South Africa publications are also suppressed by suppressing the writer, by banning, `naming' him, or, if abroad, listing him as a person whom it is unlawful to quote."
Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government. The Right Not to Listen. [Richmond, The Commission, 1964]. 23p. V7
A commentary on the conflict between property rights and freedom of speech that have collided head- on. The report concurs with the belief of Justice Hugo Black that the Constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression does not carry with it "a right to force a private property owner to furnish his property as a platform to criticize the property owner's use of that property."
von Glahn, Gerhard. "The Case for Legal Control of `Liberation' Propaganda." Law and Contemporary Problems, 31:553-88, Summer 1966. V8
The author concludes that "since the Charter of the United Nations does not spell out human rights and freedoms related to the control of propaganda, since the one convention adopted does not relate directly to subversive propaganda, and since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ought to be regarded either as a consensus or, better, as a species of moral preachment not bound up at all with legal obligations or norms of law, any attempt to regulate subversive propaganda would not conflict with legally established human rights and freedoms of speech or information. The latter simply do not exist as rights under either customary or convenient international law."
