[Publib] Censorship: Bentonville, Arkansas

[Kevin Okelly]

Maybe they were confused....When I was fourteen, I could see how I could
honestly have mistaken a book with pictures of two nude women going at for
a book on military schools. :-)

"Dad, can I go to military school, please? please? And I really really
really want to go THIS ONE!"
