Freedom to Write Panel: First Amendment, 3/6/1992

The event explores first amendment issues that have been fractious in the past year. Moderator Kathleen Sullivan starts the discussion by proposing to panelists a hypothetical utopian society in which first amendment rights are being tested in a fraught college setting. Panel members, including Arthur Miller and Morely Safer, share their views on free expression by discussing decisions they would make in the hypothetical society. A main theme throughout the talk is how government funding of the arts can color free expression.
