...Stahlman's friends back in Nashville who had signed Bozo's name to the telegram of congratulations had wished him luck. "I'll need it," said he. "They should have sent me their sympathy." Jarred to its sacroiliac by the skull-thumping sock of the Supreme Court decision in the Watson v. Associated Press case (TIME, April 19), the spine of U. S. newspaper publishing ached last week...
