Some thoughts
I admire the creation of such an impressive article. Thanks for all the hard work. One thought re: improvement. As I read it, I noticed the complications of the case and my own difficulty in following them. I also wondered how the whole business affected the Hills. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 01:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Good suggestions, thank you! I'll put in some more info on that stuff. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 13:34, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Cirt, just to make sure you don't miss my response to your note on my talk page, I am pasting it here, too. I hesitate to do any edits on the Time, Inc. v. Hill until I find out what you advise for research, etc. but as I said there, "... it will be a privilege to help. Let me know how to do so, what research, etc. is needed."

1. 

Howard Ball 1 Review NYU Press, 2004 - Law - 278 pages Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2003 Personal rights, such as the right to procreate--or not--and the right to die generate endless debate. This book maps out the legal, political, and ethical issues swirling around personal rights. Howard Ball shows how the Supreme Court has grappled with the right to reproduce and to abort, and takes on the issue of auto-euthanasia and assisted suicide, from Karen Ann Quinlan through Kevorkian and just recently to the Florida case of the woman who was paralyzed by a gunshot from her mother and who had the plug pulled on herself.For the last half of the twentieth century, the justices of the Supreme Court have had to wrestle with new and difficult life and death questions for them as well as for doctors and their patients, medical ethicists, sociologists, medical practitioners, clergy, philosophers, law makers, and judges.The Supreme Court in the Intimate Lives of Americans offers a look at these issues as they emerged and examines the manner in which the men and women of the U.S. Supreme Court addressed them.

 * I've started to focus on this with the main Nixon article more or less done.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Redlink, could be potential for possible article
&mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:10, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Harold R. Medina, Jr.

A fresh trial
The article currently states "[Brennan] permitted that Life could have a fresh trial where it could be determined whether or not the magazine's reporting was reckless or willfully inaccurate.[16]" Was such a trial ever held? NW ( Talk ) 21:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, according to the Oyez Project, "The Court remanded for retrial under the new jury instruction." and I will have to do some additional research on this. Perhaps for a new subsection, entitled, Subsequent litigation. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:58, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe the case settled at that point. This source says so, though frankly I'm not sure what it is. I'll try to find a better reference if you can't. Newyorkbrad (talk) 05:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank very much,, most appreciated! ;) &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Newyorkbrad, after examining that source, yes, we'd need a reference better than that one, unfortunately. Cheers, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Upon further examination, Newyorkbrad, the source you cited above, also appears here: . According to that link, that source is attributed as: "Essay by katib_1980, High School, 10th grade, October 2006". Unfortunately not exactly suitable for our purposes as an WP:RS source. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I will check my sources, the case did settle, fairly generously I think $30K or $50K. I don't have an online source for that but believe there was a note to file in the papers on the litigation from the Nixon library.  I am on a cruise ship, give me a week to get home.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Okay, keep us posted, Wehwalt. ;) &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Note on collaboration switch
Just a note: We've improved the article a bit, but and I are likely going to switch to another project. Possibly United States v. The Progressive or Hustler Magazine v. Falwell. Cheers, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 10:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, although this article is already very good.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:32, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
