State intervention in the public exchange of ideas remains one of the most controversial - and effective - tools of power in the modern world. Whether in totalitarian regimes or democratic societies, whether by direct action or threat of action, governments around the world set boundaries on the freedom of expression and in doing so affect the course of political development within their nations. Through a compilation of more than 500 news stories, essays, editorials, and other articles taken from The New York Times, this work chronicles government attempts to influence speech and the public reaction to those attempts throughout the 20th century.
