James Millstone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Millstone is an American journalist.
As an assistant managing editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, his work landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents.
He sued Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, who refused him auto insurance after an elderly neighbor reported him to police in retaliation for having Vietnam War protestors as guests. Because the investigating agency made no attempt to double-check, Millstone won a landmark court judgment of $40,000 from the firm.
