Charges of Obscenity In Latest Issue of i.e. Called Very Amusing

The editor of "i.e., The Cambridge Review," last night labelled as "highly amusing" accusations of obscenity by purchasers of their third issue which was published yesterday.

Several readers complained to salesmen on Brattle Street that the stories of Paul Goodman, a New York psychiatrist, and Herbert Marcuse, a Brandels professor, "exceeded the bounds of traditional American standards of morality."

Leo F. Raditsa '56, editor, said that a spokesman for the Boston District Attorney's office told him that "there are old ladies all over the state looking for this sort of thing."

Raditsa defended the stories' manner of presentation, asserting that "the discussion of contemporary problems justifies the means. The protests have come from the usual strange New Englanders who have nothing to do and have their life behind them anyhow."
