...factual is Rybakov's Stalin? The author's flashback depiction of the son of a Georgian bootmaker who became a revolutionary after dropping out of a seminary should cause few objections. The outlines of Stalin's political career are familiar and generally accepted, as is Rybakov's assertion in the novel that the dictator had Sergei Kirov killed as an excuse for starting the purge...
...Fraternity's inception in 1911. Nevertheless, we think that her work will emerge a positive one for both the University and the Fraternity, for finally we are able to at least partially present our views and objectives. Thus, we applaud Ms. Griffin's article not so much for its factual accuracy as for its illumination of the many ill-founded perceptions which are so present.

I should like to add that the History Department has been co-sponsoring Women's History Week for some years. Angeliki...
...Larry Flynt for $45 million, charging them with invasion of privacy, libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In 1984 his privacy claim was thrown out by a federal judge, and a jury found no libel, believing no reasonable person could think that the spoof was being presented as factual. But the jury agreed with Falwell's complaint about emotional distress and awarded the televangelist $200,000. Despite the novelty of the verdict, an appeals court upheld the judgment. The jury's award to Falwell set off alarm bells among journalists, political cartoonists, comedians -- anyone who might poke...
