Freedom of speech : mightier than the sword / David K. Shipler.
"Anchored in personal stories--sometimes shocking, sometimes absurd, sometimes dishearteningly familiar--but encompassing a theme as sweeping and essential as democracy itself, [this book] ... reveals the triumphs and challenges of defining and protecting the boundaries of free expression in modern America"-- Provided by publisher.
