Summary
A U.S. District Court Judge in Florida ruled in favor of a nude anti-war demonstration in a state park, allowing the creation of a peace symbol comprised of nude bodies. The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida filed court papers on behalf of the demonstrators, arguing that nudity is an essential part of their political expression.
