Book Review: Fundamental Liberties of a Free People: Religion, Speech, Press, and Assembly & Freedom, Virtue and the First Amendment

Abstract

Professor Konvitz, without questioning the underlying assumptions of the liberal tradition, has written a careful and somewhat critical summary of existing Supreme Court law. Professor Berns mounts an all-out assault upon the liberal position. Both 'books are welcome and, each in its own way, useful. Neither, I think, makes a really significant or lasting contribution to the very troublesome problems with which they deal.
