Justice and common sense in libel law remarks
A reader laments libel suits and praises Missouri and Montana jurists for allowing opinion based on newspaper reading to form juries. The piece argues judges should scrutinize plaintiff motives, defend press freedom, and notes contrasting coverage of Ward’s visit and Fletcher will case by The Sun. It critiques sensational lawsuits and endorses civil service reform and honest reporting.
