NYT obit of Robert S. Rifkind, TIME's lawyer in SHARON v. TIME (SDNY 1984). https://t.co/7xNMfHoOoO His "pivotal" role in the unusual libel case noted. Foreign public figures rarely sue American media in US for libel. Then as an ABD, I was fixated on the sensational libel trial.

First Cir Judge Bruce M. Selya dies. https://t.co/GoJ0Ld96gP My favorite US jurist for years—as a logophile. I've read all his opinions published in MEDIA LAW REPORTER, primarily to find out how often I had to check unabridged English dictionaries. Hoping to read his autobio.
nytimes.com
Judge Selya enlivened his writing with original vocabulary and colorful figures of speech. “Selyaisms” included asseverate, crapulous and sockdolager.
