...order. The Reporter's committee for freedom of the Press, a Washington-based group that offers legal aid to endangered colleagues, said last week that the high court's refusal to hear the case "means that any judge can order a newspaper not to publish any news items, and the newspaper must obey that gag for as long as it takes to appeal.
