...York Court of Appeals warily rejected the idea in the case of a pretty girl whose picture had been used without her consent to advertise a flour company's wares. The New York legislature soon changed that rule by a statute allowing damages for such invasions of privacy. And in 1904 the Georgia Supreme Court set the controlling judicial precedent by ruling in favor of a young man whose picture was similarly used by a life insurance company. Today, the right to privacy is specifically rejected in only three states (Texas, Wisconsin, Rhode Island); it is recognized in some...
Revolution-by-Consent. Columnist Max Lerner, whose most recent book was called The Age of Overkill, used the occasion to go far beyond the immediate and practical problem of price. "The State of the Union address," said Lerner in the New York Post, "won our assent because we were wholly ripe for it-and Johnson had helped make us ripe. But it was full of worn and weary phrases.

To be sure, others may freely exploit it, and for profit, by virtue of the public's "right to know" and a constitutionally protected free speech and press. "Where, however, the use exceeds...
...novel, already published in the U.S. (TIME, Sept. 18), is just out in England. With Snow's consent. Publisher and former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan delayed publication until after the election because the leading character, an ambitious young Tory minister named Roger Quaife, is speeded to ruin over an adulterous affair that voters could have taken for the Profumo scandal. Quaife's adviser is none other than Lewis Eliot, and Snow will similarly be chief counselor to a Cabinet member (where the parallel ends: Union Leader Cousins is not known to be involved in any scandal). "Fantastic," says...
