Reseña del editor

For many the legacy of comedian Lenny Bruce will forever be the legal battles over the supposed obscenity of his routines. Legal scholars Collins and Skover argue that not enough attention has been paid to his cases in the field of law itself. They offer a corrective volume that narrates the course of Bruce's trials, paying particular attention to the constitutional issues involved and the strategies followed by the prosecution and defense teams. The hour-long CD contains excerpts of relevant Bruce routines, interviews with people involved in the legal battles, and some trial proceedings secretly recorded by Bruce. A "CD" icon in the text indicates to the reader to cue the relevant track. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
