Barney Rosset obituary: Publisher who challenged censorship while championing writers was 89 - latimes.com:

"Rosset founded Grove Press, which took on American censorship laws in the '50s and '60s and championed the work of William S. Burroughs, Tom Stoppard and Malcolm X."

For adventurous readers coming of age in the 1950s and 1960s, no publisher was more important than Grove Press.
