Hugh M. Hefner's legacy of enduring free speech and free press
values is embodied in the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards,
established in 1979, which honor leading First Amendment scholars
and advocates. Hefner also had a lifelong interest in film
censorship issues and supported teaching about them at the
University of Southern California for 20 years. His deep commitment
to these values was confirmed when the author was granted
unrestricted access to over 3,000 personal scrapbooks, which Hefner
had kept in order to track free speech and press issues during his
lifetime. The format of the book is an homage to the in-depth
conversational interviews Hefner pioneered as the editor and
publisher of Playboy magazine. Stuart Brotman conducted in-person
interviews with eight persons who in their lifetimes have come to
represent a "greatest generation" of free speech and free press
scholars and advocates.
