dissenting.

Petitioners were convicted of mailing obscene materials in violation of 18 U. S. C. § 1461 . I adhere to the view that this statute is " 'clearly overbroad and unconstitutional on its face.’ ” See, e. g., Millican v. United States, 418 U. S. 947 , 948 (1974) (Brennan, J., dissenting), quoting United States v. Orito, 413 U. S. 139 , 148 (1978) (Brennan, J., dissenting). I therefore would grant certiorari and reverse.
