Contrasting opinions on gag orders from both jurists and journalists dominate this report. Opens with a review of the 1975 Nebraska mass-murder case that touched off the controversy and is the basis for a gag-order case before the US Supreme Court. There are also major segments on the legal debate over what constitutes prejudicial publicity and jury impartiality. Commenting on the latter is former Deputy Attorner General William Ruckelshaus. <60mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
