GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) -- A library board reversed a ban on comedian Jon
Stewart's best-selling satirical book, which it had passed because of its
image of Supreme Court justices' faces superimposed on naked bodies.
The Jackson-George Regional Library System board of trustees was criticized
by local residents and in e-mails from out of state after it banned "America
(The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction" last month. The
trustees had said they objected to the image.
But the board voted 5-2 Monday to lift the ban, and the book was returned to
circulation in the system's eight libraries Tuesday.
