Abstract

My Brother's Peeper
Jackson, Gardner | January 15, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The methods of the New England Watch and Ward Society and, incidentally, the workings of that peculiar mechanism, the mind of the censor, have been suddenly thrust into the limelight. The glare of publicity has been revealing, if not complimentary. Felix, the Greek newsdealer who sold a copy of the American Mercury containing the story, Hatracic, a few years ago, was poor and without prestige. In the latest instance, the society was unlucky enough to catch in one of its numerous traps a bookseller who had sufficient influence to enlist noted counsel, a clientele and a press campaign in his defense.
