Robert Wise's taut noir suspenser about the Mafia takeover of a small city is like an underworld Invasion of the Body Snatchers. John Forsythe's newsman slowly realizes that gambling corruption has infiltrated the business district, city hall, and even his close associates; he's expected to become a crook too, or else. Great docudrama style aided by a special deep-focus lens; Estes Kefauver makes a personal appearance touting the crime-busting Washington committee that inspired the picture.

Time Team's Professor Mick Aston has died at the age of 66.
The archaeologist featured on the Channel 4 series from 1994 until 2011.
Confirming the news, the show's official Twitter account posted on Monday: "It is with a very heavy heart that we've been informed that our dear colleague Mick Aston has passed away. Our thoughts are with his family."
The exact cause of his death has yet to be determined.
Co-star and friend Phil Harding explained that Aston had been suffering health problems but that his death still came as a tremendous shock.
"It just seems so incredible, like a bad dream, but unfortunately this is no dream," The Guardian quotes Harding as saying.
"He was a seriously good mate and a seriously good archaeologist, a unique man. Everybody loved him, he just had a way with people.
"I cannot believe there was anybody who disliked him, he just had such a relaxed way.

Today's extract from the book After Leveson* is by the journalist, and journalism lecturer, Natalie Peck. She considers Lord Justice Leveson's deliberations on privacy
The discussion of privacy, as both a concept and a human right in relation to press intrusion, was a central element to the Leveson inquiry's hearings.
In philosophical and legal literature, privacy has been likened to an "elusive status" and "murky conceptual waters". Many academics, journalists, legal writers, lawyers and judges have tried to define privacy, but no single definition is agreed upon.
Lord Justice Leveson examined, but never lingered, on the definitional problems of privacy. His focus lay in uncovering the "dark arts" of journalism and in hearing the evidence of those who had been affected by press intrusion.
The judge's report steers clear of recommending an extension of the civil law to protect individual privacy. The action centres instead around the formation of a...
