This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (dated draft 4.2.12) by Alan Dershowitz, recounting a past appellate argument regarding obscenity and First Amendment rights. The text details an exchange with Judges Aldrich and Julian where Dershowitz argues that the *Stanley v.

The page includes a humorous anecdote about a watchmaker/mohel and a hypothetical legal argument involving a 'Pornography Shop' in Boston.
