Description
Janis Ian is a singer and composer who was interviewed for an article which appeared in the magazine section of the Sunday New York Times on February 15, 1976. The subject of both the interview and the article was Phoebe Snow, also a singer and composer. Plaintiff Steven Rand, the former manager of Snow, alleges that defamatory matter appearing in the article, inter alia, held him up to public contempt, scandal and disgrace, and injured his standing in the entertainment industry and the legal profession, of which he is a member. The material with which plaintiff has taken umbrage is contained in a paragraph that revolved around a quotation from Ian: "She [Phoebe Snow] is also paranoid. Phoebes had harder times than anybody Ive ever met -- in terms of now -- in the business, Janis Ian declares hotly. Her record company and her manager and her lawyer all screwed her at once. Phoebe herself will not discuss these issues, claiming to be in the midst of a number of expensive and enervating lawsuits. Because of them and what she might be held liable for saying, the singer is awash with secrets and taboo subjects for journalists." The alleged libel appears in the remark, "Her record company and her manager and her lawyer all screwed her at once." Unmistakably, plaintiff alleges, he is the person designated as "her manager." He has brought this action against Ian as well as the New York Times Company and Stephen Rubin, the publisher and author, respectively, of the article. Neither the Times nor Rubin is a party to this appeal.
