Can you imagine a >jury in NY being sympathetic to an upper-class person (of any color) >whining that he was mistaken for being middle-class? Robert - The case was discussed on the PhotoNewsNetwork. It is "Arrington vs. The New York Times" and is a landmark case. Mr. Arrington sued in court and won. The case is still cited in model release disputes so it has not been appealed.
