The Supreme Court closed a charged session with eavesdropping and miscegenation rulings, while Justice Clark retires. The court also expanded press freedom, upheld libel standards for public figures, and left several eavesdropping cases unresolved pending future actions.
James Marlow notes this year brought modest changes. The court upheld MLK convictions yet softened obscenity rulings and broadened police power to search and shield informants. It rejected broad electronic eavesdropping and warned against false evidence and comments by officials to juries.
The court voided a $900,000 libel award against The Associated Press over 1962 University of Mississippi coverage, saying no malice or prejudice existed. It upheld $460,000 against Curtis Publishing in the Butts case, while extending qualified libel immunity to prominent figures. The decision emphasizes public figures' role in society and press protection.
