Description
Gives the history of the case in which Dr Reading brought a libel suit against Smith's weekly, on the grounds of their printing false information about Youth Aliyah in 1947, with the intention of portraying Jews in a negative and unpatriotic light. Argues that Reading won a moral victory, if not a legal one.
