"The problem of obscenity [pornography] in literature, movies and other art forms has received increasing attention in recent years as a result of what to many has
seemed an increased boldness on the part of writers and producers and increased libertarianism on the part of the courts. In this Roundtable three
Latter-day Saints bring both their varied professional perspectives — as an
expert on constitutional law, a social scientist, and a teacher of literature —
and their common faith to bear on this problem. Arvo Van Alstyne, who has
published numerous books and articles on public law and procedure while
teaching at U.C.L.A. and Stanford Law Schools, recently became Professor of
Law at the University of Utah and is serving as bishop of one of the L.D.S. student wards there." (Publisher Abstract)
