Justice Charles Evans Hughes Quote

"The liberty of the press is not confined to newspapers and periodicals.
It necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. These indeed have been
historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets
of Thomas Paine and others in our history abundantly attest."
