Judge Morgan's action did not affect the jury's verdict against the Post, which in an article last spring had accused Butts and University of Alabama Football Coach "Bear" Bryant of conspiring to fix the 1962 Georgia-Alabama game.

"The jury was warranted in concluding from the persistent and continuing attitude of the officers and agents of the defendant that there was a wanton or reckless indifference to the plaintiff's rights...
...rough-textured dialogue is delivered by a cast of pros. "You're a sex maniac," purrs Edie Adams laconically, as McQueen ogles her thigh. His approach varies little, for it needs no improvement.

The judgment has been appealed and may well be reduced-but four other suits, asking a total of $24.5 million, still await trial. It may be necessary, said Culligan, to establish a special reserve fund to accommodate such legal actions...
