File Size: 2.41 MB
Summary

This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of 'Deep Throat', Harvard's Quincy House, and the legal defense style, though his name is not explicitly in the text) included in House Oversight files. It details a court hearing where a Judge Alberti viewed the film 'Deep Throat' to determine if it was obscene under Massachusetts law, ultimately deciding it was 'trash' but not legally obscene. The narrative concludes with the author addressing protesters and students at Quincy House regarding free speech rights.
