The Ellsberg-Russo ease is an extenuation of the 1971 press "victory" before the Supreme Court. The more recent tumult over confidentiality of sources, growing steadily since last July when the Court rejected Caldwell's final appeal by a 5-4 margin, is at the root of the current discussion regarding press freedom.
