Srochi: Must Peaches be Preserved at all Costs? Questioning the Constitu MUST PEACHES BE PRESERVED AT ALL COSTS? QUESTIONING THE CONSTITUTIONAL VALIDITY OF GEORGIA'S PERISHABLE PRODUCT DISPARAGEMENT LAW INTRODUCTION As cognizant members of society, people demand access to information regarding the safety of a variety of products, perishable or not, so that they may make informed choices about the use, consumption, and purchase of these goods. For this reason alone, it may be chilling to learn that many state legislatures, including the Georgia General Assembly, have introduced legislation aimed at "anyone badmouthing the state's agricultural products."' A constant tension exists between open and unfettered debate on issues of public concern and protection of the rights of individuals or businesses who may suffer at the hands of speakers who overstep their bounds.

Robert Pitofsky is in a Position to Influence a New Doctrine 695 Conclusion 698 Introduction In today's information-hungry society, the mass media is a powerful industry that impacts the lives of most people.1 Almost everyone is exposed to the mass media on a daily basis by reading the newspaper, listening to the radio, or watching television broadcasts. Routinely, the topics of public debate reflect the issues that are addressed by the mass media through its various outlets. When the ownership of media outlets is widely dispersed, the range of new and distinctive ideas is increased. However, this range is greatly restricted when media ownership is highly concentrated. One problem that occurs with a highly concentrated mass media is that journalists are no longer "watchdogs" for society. Historically, journalists have investigated and exposed incidents of illegality in business. When the media is highly concentrated, critics warn that it will not be able to continue this effective "watchdog" role since the trail of some stories will often lead to their own parent companies.

NORTH CAROLINA LAW REVIEW [Vol. 35 Service of Process--Jurisdiction Over Foreign Corporations Three recent decisions, one by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit' and two by the North Carolina Supreme Court,2 focus attention on conflicting views concerning a foreign corporation's amenability to suit in a state where it conducts some activities but is not licensed to do business.3 The North Carolina General Assembly pro- vided by statute for service of process on foreign corporations "not trans- acting business in this State," but which engage in certain specified activity.4 In two of the afore-mentioned decisions, the courts took a restrictive view of state jurisdiction over such corporations and held the statute unconstitutional as applied to the facts of each case;, in the third decision, the statute was upheld.0 An examination of these cases should perhaps be prefaced by a brief consideration of the judicial history of state jurisdiction over foreign corporations.
