This is neat stuff, thanks for the update.  Lots of great history.
Amazing how many television articles appeared in the early 1930s.

Now if they could only put on the "Bell Laboratories Record".  That's
more of an application-oriented report for lay persons.

Subject: Supreme Ct. says corporations... do NOT get some   (human) "privacy" rights
Message-ID: <Pine.NEB.4.64.1103012350210.21092@panix5.panix.com>

- referring to a FOIL request of the FCC re: AT&T info:

lower court's earlier decision:
    "It held that Exemption 7(C) extends to
    the "personal privacy of corporations, reasoning
    that "personal" is the adjective form of the word
    "person", which Congress has defined, as applicable
    here, to include corporation."

SCOTUS overturned it: "Held: Corporations do not
have "personal privacy" for the purposes of
Exemption 7(C)..."
