Dear Mr. Movitz, 

In  King v. Globe Newspaper Co  400 Mass. 705, 718(1987), the "jury
ultimately disagreed and returned a defendant's verdict, finding that
the statement was not defamatory." (SOURCE: Jonathan M. Albano,
"Libel", Journalist Handbook,
<http://www.massbar.org/publications/journalists_handbook/?sw=3153>).
