Our guests have both spent more time with pornography than either might have liked. As WFB introduces them, "Mr. Rembar is uniquely situated to write about those trials [listed in the subtitle to his book], since he was in all cases counsel for the defense and the author of the triumphant legal strategy." Mr. Kuh, meanwhile, "observed the anti-obscenity laws being shot down one after the other and elaborated a theory on how to write statutes that would control the traffic of smut in such a way as to get them by the Supreme Court." Mr. Rembar proves not to be a First Amendment absolutist (although he maintains that, "so far as books are concerned-the printed word-the government ought to stay out of things"), and he is willing to entertain Mr. Kuh's arguments, e.g., regarding books with highly explicit pictures, and regarding sales to children. At one point, indeed, Mr. Buckley is moved to say, "We're making progress here (we're not used to that)."
