Rezensionen / Stimmen
"History can teach us many lessons, and one is that freedom is not easily preserved. If there are not voices like Mark Sableman and others to remind us of our heritage, there will be a gradual erosion of our basic freedoms."-Paul Simon, from the Foreword
"Sableman, in his concise, highly readable book, asks us to revisit our knee-jerk reactions to offensive speech. He points out, in a variety of contexts, why even the most offensive speech is preferable to an imposed silence... More Speech, Not Less is likely to appeal to lawyers, journalists, and any readers with an interest in free speech and media issues."-New York Law Journal
