Article about a literature censorship board formed in 1953 in the US - The Georgia Literature Commission -
"Thus, with God and a pure, unyielding ignorance on his side, Wesberry developed an eight-question checklist with which to gauge literature for obscenity: 1. What is the general and dominant theme? 2. What degree of sincerity of purpose is evident? 3. What is the literary or scientific worth? 4. What channels of distribution are employed? 5. What are contemporary attitudes of reasonable men toward such matters? 6. What types of readers may reasonably be expected to peruse the publication? 7. Is there evidence of pornographic intent? 8. What impression will be created in the mind of the reader, upon reading the work as a whole?”
Catcher in the Rye did not pass through this test.
