Description: Established in 1961 by Alvin A. Goldberg, Franklyn S. Haiman, Mark Klyn, Robert M. O'Neil, and George E Rice to provide a forum for promoting the essential place of free and responsible communication in a democratic society, the Free Speech Yearbook has sought for over a quarter of a century through articles, essays, and reviews to support the right of peaceful expression by all communicative means.

In this issue of the award-winning Yearbook, Donald Fishman examines "Conflicting Conceptions of Freedom of Speech in the Aftermath of World War I"; Roy V. Leeper analyzes "Strange Bedfellows: John Milton and Karl Marx on Censorship"; and Juliet Dee considers "Andrea Dworkin, Hustler, and First Amendment Protection for Opinion: Is Something Rotten in the House of Libel?"

David S. Allen looks into "The Institutional Press and Professionalization: Defining the Press Clause in Journalist's Privilege Cases"; Michael A. Cavanagh evaluates "The Reconstitution of Legal Reality: Choice of Language, Definition, and Analogy as Methods for Limiting the Fora Available for Public Expression"; James M. Tallmon probes "Metaphor in William H. Rehnquist's Judicial Rhetoric"; and E Dennis Hale explores "The Evolution of Indiana's Heightened Libel Defense".

Michael W. Casey and Michael A. Jordan investigate "Free Speech in Time of War: Government Surveillance of the Churches of Christ in World War I"; Joseph J. Hemmer Jr. analyzes "Commercial Speech: Assessing the Function and Durability of the Central Hudson Test"; James A. Herrick deals with "The English Deists' Argument for Freedom of Expression: Religious Inquiry and the First Amendment"; and Paul Siegel assesses "The Supreme Court and the FirstAmendment: 1994-1995". An expanded selection of twelve book reviews makes up the final section of this issue.
