Scope and Content Note The papers of Joseph Anthony Lewis (1927-2013) span the years 1941-2007, with the bulk of material dating from 1963 to 2001. The papers document primarily Lewis’s career as a newspaper reporter and columnist for the New York Times and his work as an author of several books about legal issues. In 1963 Lewis won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting about the Supreme Court and is credited with changing the field of legal journalism. Although not a lawyer, Lewis had a grasp of the complexities of the law and a clear writing style that made legal issues more understandable to the public. The collection Anthony Lewis Papers 5 consists of two parts with some topics and time periods common to both parts. Part I consists chiefly of drafts and research files for two of Lewis’s books, Gideon’s Trumpet (1964) and Portrait of a Decade (1964), and letters from readers of Lewis’s New York Times column between 1969 and 1975. Part II makes up the bulk of the collection and pertains chiefly to Lewis’s tenure while a reporter and columnist with the New York Times from 1955 to 2001. Also included in Part II are files relating to his endeavors as a university lecturer and his writings, including drafts of articles, book drafts, and research files. The papers contain only a few items relating to Lewis’s career before 1955. The collection is in English. Part I Part I of the Lewis Papers spans the years 1941-1975, with the bulk of material produced from 1963 to 1974. Drafts, research files, and letters from readers of Lewis's New York Times column between 1969 and 1975 are organized into three series: Subject File, Letters from Readers, and Writings.

  • Terror/Torture Karima Bennoune
    Berkeley Journal of International Law Volume 26 | Issue 1 Article 1 2008 Terror/Torture Karima Bennoune Recommended Citation Karima Bennoune, Terror/Torture, 26 Berkeley J. Int'l Law. 1 (2008).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Berkeley Journal of International Law by an authorized administrator of Berkeley Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Bennoune: Terror/Torture Terror/Torture By Karima Bennoune* ABSTRACT In the face of terrorism, human rights law's requirement that states "respect and ensure" rights necessitates that states take active steps to safeguard their populations from violent attack, but in so doing do not violate rights. Security experts usually emphasize the aspect of ensuring rights while human rights ad- vocates largely focus on respecting rights. The trick, which neither side in the debate has adequately referenced, is that states have to do both at the same time. In contrast to these largely one-sided approaches, adopting a radical universalist stance, this Article argues that both contemporary human rights and security dis- courses on terrorism must be broadened and renewed. This renewal must be in- formed by the understanding that international human rights law protects the in- dividual both from terrorism and the excesses of counter-terrorism, like torture. To develop this thesis, the Article explores the philosophical overlap between both terrorism and torture and their normative prohibitions.

  • What Role for the Cia's General Counsel
    Sed Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes: The CIA’s Office of General Counsel? A. John Radsan* After 9/11, two officials at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made decisions that led to major news. In 2002, one CIA official asked the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) to clarify how aggressive CIA interrogators could be in questioning al Qaeda operatives held overseas.1 This request led to the August 2002 memorandum, later leaked, in which John Yoo argued that an interrogator crosses the line into torture only by inflicting pain on a par with organ failure.2 Yoo further suggested that interrogators would have many defenses, justifications, and excuses if they faced possible criminal charges.3 One commentator described the advice as that of a “mob lawyer to a mafia don on how to skirt the law and stay out of prison.”4 To cool the debate about torture, the Bush administration retracted the memorandum and replaced it with another.5 The second decision was made in 2003, when another CIA official asked the Justice Department to investigate possible misconduct in the disclosure to the media of the identity of a CIA employee. The employee was Valerie Plame, a covert CIA analyst and the wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson. * Associate Professor of Law, William Mitchell College of Law. The author was a Justice Department prosecutor from 1991 until 1997, and Assistant General Counsel at the Central Intelligence Agency from 2002 until 2004. He thanks Paul Kelbaugh, a veteran CIA lawyer in the Directorate of Operations, for thoughtful comments on an early draft, and Erin Sindberg Porter and Ryan Check for outstanding research assistance.

Sullivan,' the United States Supreme Court extended First Amendment guarantees to defamation actions.2 Many greeted the Court's decision with joy. Alexander Meiklejohn claimed that the decision was "an occasion for dancing in the streets. ' 3 He believed that the decision would have a major impact on defamation law, and he was right. After the decision, many years elapsed during which "there were virtually no recoveries by public officials in libel 4 actions." The most important component of the New York Times decision was its "actual malice" standard. This standard provided that, in order to recover against a media defendant, a public official must demonstrate that the defendant acted with "malice.' In other words, the official must show that the defendant knew that the defamatory statement was © Copyright 1993, by LoUIsIANA LAW REVIEW.

Salant, a lawyer, broadcast media executive, ardent defender of the First Amendment and passionate leader of broadcast ethics and news standards. Frank Stanton was a central figure in the development of tele - vision broadcasting. He became president of CBS in January 1946, a position he held for 27 years. A staunch advocate of First Amendment rights, Stanton worked to ensure that broad - cast journalism received protection equal to that received by the print press. In testimony before a U.S. Congressional committee when he was ordered to hand over material from an investigative report called “The Selling of the Pentagon,” Stanton said that the order amounted to an infringement of free speech under the First Amendment.

  • A Federal Shield Law That Works: Protecting Sources, Fighting Fake News, and Confronting Modern Challenges to Effective Journalism
    A FEDERAL SHIELD LAW THAT WORKS: PROTECTING SOURCES, FIGHTING FAKE NEWS, AND CONFRONTING MODERN CHALLENGES TO EFFECTIVE JOURNALISM Anthony L. Fargo* I. INTRODUCTION Covering government and politics is rarely easy for journalists even in the best of times. Officials want to hide information that would make them look bad. Candidates and party leaders try to “spin” coverage to favor their side. Sources with potentially important news to share often have hidden or not-so-hidden agendas that could cast doubt on their veracity. Recent months certainly have not been the best of times for journalists. The President of the United States has labeled mainstream news outlets as “enemies of the people.”1 President Trump and his most ardent supporters frequently call any news that portrays the administration unfavorably “fake news.”2 Public trust in the news media is low, especially among those aligned with the President’s party.3 President Trump and his attorney general have announced that they are going to get tough on people who leak classified or sensitive information to the press, which could chill potential news sources and, if leakers are prosecuted, possibly lead to journalists being subpoenaed to identify their sources or face contempt citations.4 * Anthony Fargo is an Associate Professor and Director for the Center for International Media Law and Policy Studies, The Media School, Indiana University. The author thanks Patrick Ober for his valuable research assistance. Funding for this study was provided by the Barbara Restle Press Law Project. 1. Michael M.
