About the only clear signal from the disjointed court this year was aimed at the press. Claims by the press to special privilege under the First Amendment took a drubbing in several cases. The message struck with the bluntness of a sledgehammer in Zurcher vs. Stanford Daily, which allowed police to raid newsrooms without warning to search for evidence of crimes committed by others. Although the court ruled that police must first obtain warrants, many commentators feared that local magistrates would not hesitate to let police fish through reporters' desks and notebooks, scaring off sources from confiding...
...heterosexual women, though they scored slightly lower on self-esteem and were more prone to thoughts of suicide. Homosexual males, however, showed more signs of emotional damage than heterosexual men in nine areas of psychological distress, from depression to paranoia. Twenty percent of the gay men had attempted suicide, vs. 4% of the heterosexual males.

All this has convinced some journalists that the court is growing increasingly indifferent to the rights of the press. Says Jack Landau, director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press: "The court feels the press is arrogant and greedy...
...they are replaced by other flower-like faces which, the previous season, still belonged to little girls. For the man who looks at them, they are yearly waves whose weight and splendor break into foam over the yellow sand." The minutes stolen for reflection concern the values of action vs. creation: "I ought not to have written; if the world were clear, art would not exist...
