Must we grown-up Americans depend on Big Brother Government to control our minds and our tastes-at the cost of our own tax dollars? Rather let that money be spent to hire more policemen to patrol our streets, not our bookstores, and to pay the police a salary commensurate with the danger and difficulty of their work. This would do more to prevent sex crimes than all the censorship laws on the books...

Technology, indeed, can be more of a straitjacket than a servant to man. It is unarguably true that the law is often not only inhumane but serves as the implacable friend of wrongdoing. Reich makes these points, but in language so maddeningly overstated, so gratuitously contradictory, so alternately abusive and effusive that it would hardly do for a pot-scented post-midnight colloquy in a college dormitory...
