The Press: Settlement
As a bitter critic of Nevada's Senator Pat McCarran, Las Vegas Sun Publisher Hank Greenspun has more than political disagreements with his state's senior Senator. In a suit filed last spring, Greenspun charged that McCarran had conspired with more than 20 Nevada gambling casino owners to withdraw about $8,000 a month in casino ads from the Sun, thus attempting to silence the paper's criticism of him (TIME, June 16). Last week the $225,000 damage suit charging that McCarran had conspired with the gamblers was settled out of court. Under the terms of the settlement the amount paid to Greenspun was estimated at $80,000 Said Greenspun: "I can view this settlement as nothing else but a complete vindication of my stand."
