Actual Malice - Civil Rights and Freedom of the Press in New York Times V. Sullivan

Sullivan for not only freedom of expression but also racial justice and other equal rights movements."--Nadine Strossen, author of Hate: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship and past National President, American Civil Liberties Union
