The press can air the secrets of government, the corporate boardroom, or the bedroom with little fear of punishment or penalty. This extraordinary freedom results not from America's culture of tolerance, but from fourteen words in the constitution: the free expression clauses of the First Amendment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In\u003ci\u003e Freedom for the Thought That We Hate\u003c\/i\u003e, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Anthony Lewis describes how our free-speech rights were created in five distinct areas: political speech, artistic expression, libel, commercial speech, and unusual forms of expression such as T-shirts and campaign spending. It is a story of hard choices, heroic judges, and the fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face to face with one of America's great founding ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 046501819X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465018192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/24\/2010 pg. 20","brand":"Anthony Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051065602303,"sku":"9780465018192","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca70b5a8-58ef-44de-a1a6-fab82ae6e0bf.jpg?v=1685010886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-for-the-thought-that-anthony-lewis-9780465018192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
