Begin forwarded message:

> Next Tuesday, May 29, Polly Mann will be there and her play titled 
> John Peter
> Zenger will be read by some people.  Here is the gist of it:
>
> The play, based on an actual historical event involving John Peter
> Zenger, takes place in 1735 when the US was still part of the British
> Empire.  Zenger was a German immigrant printer who established the
> first partisan political journal in the US, The New York Weekly
> Journal, in which he is accused of corrupting the governor of New York,
> an appointee of the King.  Zenger was tried for printing libelous
> material.  The verdict set the precedent for an important principle of
> law still in effect today.   Much of the material came from transcripts
> of the trial.
