"The Supreme Court Jus· J. Henson tices went back through the facts and wrote in the opinion: "The Greenbelt News Review was performing its wholly legitimate function as a community newspaper when it pub­ lished full reports of these public debates in its news col­ umns. If the reports had been truncated or distorted in any such a way as to extract the word blackmail from the context in which it was used at a public meeting this would be a different case, but the reports were accurate and full.' I can't think of a nicer compliment to the News Review. "This case." Clark added in postscript, "has been cited in 362 subsequent cases and 21 law review articles. There may be a pound of ink in the hundreds of thousands of law books around the country to spell the words "Greenbelt News Review." . -.. - - ... - Thursday, January 14, 1988 GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW Page 9

''There are not many newspapers that have in. their history advancing the cause of a free press.. I have been struck by the commitment to high principle which the News Review has reflected throughout the course of its half cen­ tury," United States Senat~r Paul Sarbanes told his audi­ ience. After reading some old issues of the newspaper about its libel suit, he shared a comment by Elaine Skolnik about her husband Al: "He was always very concerned about Greenbelt and who is protecting the public interest. He thinks the public interest should be dominant over private interests." That philosophy, Sarbanes noted, has been a "hallmark of this newspaper. It's why we have the freedom of the press protection in the constitution." Sarbanes spoke of Jefferson's admonition of the "im­ portance of a free press to a free government. And this pa­ per has understood and acted on that responsibility. Not only that but the community has understood." He quoted the chairman of the Greenbelt Freedom of the Press Com­ mittee whose task it was to raise the funds the newspaper needed to appeal the lower court decision against it in the li­ bel suit: "Seldom in our lifetimes are we privileged to make a direct contribution to protect one of our most basic free­ doms - freedom of the press."
