BOSTON, MARCH 10-"Forever Amber" was freed to Massachusetts readers by Superior Court judge Francis J. Donahue who ruled the Kathleen Winzor novel "not obscene" but said it was "conducive to sleep."
Ending the first court test of a new Massachusetts law under which the book itself-not the bookseller of publisher--goes on trial, the judge's ruling put the story of a gay beauty of England's restoration back on the bookstands.
Today he said the reading "required several hours of my time every day for seven days to got through it" and added of the book "while it is conducive to sleep it is not conducive to a desire to sleep with a member of the opposite sex."
