"It's a sad day in America when an artist goes to jail for reproducing a Michelangelo painting on the side of his art studio." -- Michael J. Steinberg, ACLU Legal Director, on artist Ed Stross facing jail time for painting a mural based on Michelangelo's "Creation of Man". Stross' mural includes a bare-breasted Eve, which was considered indecent by town officials in Roseville, Michigan.
