From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Most Cincinnati residents believe an art gallery should be allowed to show Robert Mapplethorpe’s controversial photographs, according to a poll in the Cincinnati Post. Of 561 adults polled, 59% support the Contemporary Arts Center in displaying the photographs, some of which show naked children or homoerotic acts. The art gallery and its director were indicted a week ago on misdemeanor obscenity charges for exhibiting the photos.
