"I guess The Catcher In The Rye should be banned, too, on the same criteria," said Chicago-based attorney J.D. Obenberger, alluding to the long-controversial J.D. Salinger novel often targeted by censorship supporters and, most notoriously, in the possession of the man who murdered former Beatle John Lennon in 1980. "I guess the thinking goes, any sensory stimulation that is received within a couple of hours before some criminal commits a crime should be banned," he said. "And, then, we'd have no crime. Of course, we'd have no literature, either."
