3510. Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment, by Anthony Lewis (read 14 Dec 2001) This is a 1991 book dealing with the seminal case of New York Times v. Sullivan, and it is very good dealing with the events leading up to the case (a 1960 ad in the New York Times saying things about conditions in the South and seeking donations to aid the civil rights struggle), and the trial and the appeal. Anyone interested in libel law should read this book since it makes the famous case come alive. A thoroughly enjoyable book. ( )

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gideon's Trumpet follows the progress of the 1960 libel suit that pitted The New York Times against a Montgomery, Alabama, city official, and whose settlement in the Supreme Court redefined what newspapers, and ordinary citizens, can print or say.
