"I was heavily importuned to testify before the Pennsylvania legislature on the matter of pornography. Legislators, infuriated by the rapid increase of public pornography, had proposed a bill which would give every local district attorney the right to constitute himself a one-man censorship board, which was patently absurd. I tried to kill this foolish aspect of a bill which the public wanted, and failed. Because legislators pretty much had to vote for the bill, or be castigated as friends of filth, the bill passed. Fortunately it was vetoed by our sensible governor."
