Well, all of that stuff came straight from either the NY appellate courts opinion or the US Supreme Court's opinion in that related case.  i will also try to find more sources.  This case is a landmark case because it established, for the first time ever, the civil tort of false light claims and what the elements of those claims are.  It was relied upon by SCOTUS as well as courts in all 50 states.  To be honest, this is probably the only thing this guy is known for (unless you lived way back in the 40's while he played).  That is why it is so important.  False light remains the least-recognized and most controversial aspect of invasion of privacy. See BRUCE W. SANFORD, LIBEL AND PRIVACY § 11.4.1 at 567 (2d ed. 1991) (""Of Dean Prosser's four types of privacy torts, the 'false light' school has generated the most criticism because of its elusive, amorphous nature.""); Diane Leenheer Zimmerman, False Light Invasion of Privacy: The Light that Failed , 64 N.Y.U.L. Rev. 364, 452 (1989) (""the wiser course may be for states to eliminate false light altogether""). In Time, Inc. v. Hill, 385 U.S. 374, 387-90, 17 L. Ed. 2d 456, 87 S. Ct. 534, the United States Supreme Court has held that the tort of false light is consistent with First Amendment freedoms provided there is a finding of actual malice, knowledge of the falsity, or of reckless disregard of the truth. See also Cantrell v. Forest City Publishing Co., 419 U.S. 245, 251-53, 42 L. Ed. 2d 419, 95 S. Ct. 465. 

But I will find some other sources and add them later this evening.  Hope that works.   "
