[edit] Disambiguation

"Master Jay", please provide some reasoning for your reversions. Thank you. It would be helpful to have a disambiguation page, to distinguish the "ACLU Deborah Davis" from the journalist and author Deborah Davis. For the latter, the page might read as follows: >>> 2) An unrelated Deborah Davis, journalist and author, wrote an unauthorized biography, Katharine the Great, about Katharine Graham, owner-publisher of the Washington Post. The first edition (Harcourt Brace, 1979) print run of 25,000 copies had barely entered bookstores when Graham was able to get it recalled and all copies shredded. David Ignatius attacked the book from the right (Wall Street Journal), Alexander Cockburn (who happened to be dating Graham's daughter, Lally) attacked it from the left. This, despite strong advance sales, a Literary Guild selection award, a second print-run underway, and seven paperback publishers bidding on it. Davis suied Harcourt Brace for breach of contract and won an out-of-court settlement. A second edition was published, wth little fanfare, by National Press in Bethesda, Maryland. The third edition is by Sheridan Square Press (1991). <<<

Another noteable Deborah Davis is the daughter of Children of God cult founder David Berg (she is the reason the Children of God article links here). Here is an article about her, and here is a link to her book which was written as an expose on her father & the Children of God. --Monger 19:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legal Ideas Brought Up by "ACLU Deborah Davis"

This case is often the subject of at least one full class in Law School "privacy law" classes. The facts of the case present many important privacy law issues, vis-a-vis Regulations vs. the 4th Amendment, "right to enter" and "right to exclude" concepts as they relate to federal installations, "notice" as it relates to the 4th amendment and reasonable expectations of privacy (in particular whether the signs at the gate of the installation were sufficient notice to deprive her of a "reasonable expectation of privacy.") The value of her case may be lessened in the future since the DA decided not to prosecute, and presumably the issues brought up in this case will ultimately be brought up in some other case that is prosecuted, but until then, she has value as an entry because the brings together in one place a bunch of different privacy law issues 129.174.254.228 17:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Chris
