Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (dated draft 4.2.12) written by an attorney (historically identifiable as Alan Dershowitz) recounting the 'Quincy House Two' case at Harvard. It details the arrest of two students, Stork and Hagen, for screening the film *Deep Throat*, the subsequent protests, and the successful legal defense against District Attorney Droney, who was accused of acting as a censor. The text discusses the irony of censorship attempts and the disparity between legal rulings and public reality regarding obscenity.
