Writers and other intellectuals throughout the world celebrated it. Even the U.S. State Department bought copies to exhi bit at USIA libraries overseas as exemplars of American periodical publishing. But bluenoses here at home railed against the publication and one, the New York smut-hunting Catholic priest Morton Hill, persuaded U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy t o have me indicted, as Father Hill later boasted, for distributing 'obscene' literature through the mails, a federal crime. The indictment sought punishment of $280,000 in fines and 280 years in prison. New York's newspapers gave prominent play to F ather Hill's and the Justice Department's attacks against me. They quoted -- straight-faced -- the remarks of Congresswoman Kathryn O'Hay Granahan who declared, on the floor of the House of Representatives, that my publication of EROS was 'part of a n international Communist plot.' But newspapers ignored my every attempt to defend myself against these moronic allegations. I announced press conferences at various sites around town: at the Benjamin Franklin statue on Newspaper Row, at my magazine 's offices, on the steps of the General Post Office. All were listed in the AP and UPI daybooks but nobody showed up -- with one exception: Gay Talese, then a star reporter for The New York Times, appeared at my Post Office press conference where I presented an impassioned rebuttal of my attackers' charges and answered his few questions. I distinctly remember that he jotted down not a single word of my remarks. The Times ran no story the next day and Talese went onto become vice president and a director of P.E.N., the international organization dedicated to combating censorship of authors and publishers. After a brief trial in June, 1963, I was convicted in U.S. District Court, Philadelphia." ; Contents: MM 6/21/82 / Bert Stern -- Aphrod esiacs : The Pharmacopoeia of Love / Warren Boroson -- Aphrodesiac Recipes -- Sam Roth, Prometheus of the Unprintable / Robert Antrim -- The Unicorn as Phallic Symbol / David Bar-Illan -- Kiss My Firm But Pliant Lips : A Short Story / Dan Greenburg -- The Merry Muses of Caledonia / Robert Burns -- My Quest for a French Tickler in Japan / Mimi Sheraton -- Q: How do Porcupines Do It?
