'Jacko,' Saturday Review Settle Law Suit; New York Police Dunk Dartmouth Parody

Several hundred copies of the Jack-O-Lantern, Dartmouth's humorous magazine, were tossed into New York Harbor last night by City officials after a suit brought by the Saturday Review of Literature against the publication was settled out of court.

The Jacko had put out a parody entitled "The Saturday Review of Literature," but New York Magistrate John F. Murtaugh ruled that the "y" in the title resembled too much the real magazine's "u". The litererary magazine's editor, Norman Counsins, filed a complaint that the parody was "ignorant and insulting" and could easily be mistaken for the original.
