...acerbic legal dustup, Ernest Hemingway's widow Mary tried in vain to enjoin publication of this book, contended that A. E. Hotchner had appropriated literary material that rightfully belonged to her as Hemingway's beneficiary, and accused Hotchner of "shameless penetration into my private life and the usurpation of it for money" (TIME, Feb. 11). Hotchner certainly will make money from this book: serialization rights were sold to the Saturday Evening Post for about $50,000, it is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and, with 60,000 copies in print, it is clearly destined...
Invasion of Privacy. Mary's next move was to ask the New York State Supreme Court to enjoin publication. The book invaded her privacy, she said, and it violated the confidential relationship that existed between Hotch and Papa. But her main argument was that it appropriated her literary property. The law holds that the author of a letter maintains ownership of its contents, and Mary claimed that her husband's estate, of which she is both executrix and beneficiary, maintained ownership of the material Hotchner had used in his book...

For the moment, at least, it is only fighting with the Times, and last week the Printing Pressmen's union filed suit to enjoin the other publishers from stopping their presses. But a court decision was postponed in the legal wrangle...
Although courts readily enjoin deliberately noisy neighbors, loud dance halls and amusement parks, "serious" business is another matter. Unless caused by poor design, for example, ordinary industrial noise is protected on the ground that silencing it would cause undue losses. Even though the test is what a person of "ordinary sensibilities" can tolerate, the law does not automatically protect those who choose to live beside sources of foreseeable noise, however annoying...
...vote of 5 to 2, the court ruled that federal courts may now enjoin criminal prosecutions (but only before indictments) under vaguely worded state laws that have a "chilling effect" on the "transcendent" First Amendment right of free speech. Under a 1962 anti-subversive law, Louisiana had charged three white civil rights officials with failing to register as Communist-fronters. The defendants claimed that the sweeping law was actually being used to deny free speech and curb integration. A federal court refused to intervene under the long-held "abstention" doctrine, which requires that a state court get first crack...
