A  student alerted me to a listserv post indicating that Time, Inc.  
had  arbitrarily send the annual swimsuit issue of  Sports Illustrated   
to all institutional subscribers without the photos. Is this true  for  
your institution?  I know the issue is contentious in  school  
libraries, but this seems awfully drastic and raises a lot  of  
intellectual freedom issues for me, if it  is.


This doesn't disturb me as much as if they censored the swimsuit issue  of 
Library Journal.  By the way, if you did remove the pictures from the  Sports 
Illustrated swimsuit issue, you'd have about ten lines of text and some  beer 
ads.  I'd check on the source of that information.
