Synopses & Reviews
Established in 1961 by Alvin A. Goldberg, Franklyn S. Haiman, Mark Klyn, Robert M. ONeil, and George P. Rice to provide a forum for promoting the essential place of free and responsible communication in a democratic society, the Free Speech Yearbook has sought for over a quarter of a century through articles, essays, and reviews to support the right of peaceful expression by all communicative means.

Cavanagh evaluates "The Reconstitution of Legal Reality: Choice of Language, Definition, and Analogy as Methods for Limiting the Fora Available for Public Expression"; James M. Tallmon probes "Metaphor in William H. Rehnquists Judicial Rhetoric"; and F. Dennis Hale explores "The Evolution of Indianas Heightened Libel Defense."
Michael W. Casey and Michael A. Jordan investigate "Free Speech in Time of War: Government Surveillance of the Churches of Christ in World War I"; Joseph J. Hemmer Jr. analyzes "Commercial Speech: Assessing the Function and Durability of the Central Hudson Test"; James A.
