               The content of editorials and articles published in The                
          Constabulary was determined by the editorial staff of troopers.             
          Most of the articles in The Constabulary were written by troopers           
          who were editors.  Trooper editors reviewed every article and               
          editorial before it was published.                                          
          Distribution of The Constabulary                                            
               In each year, approximately 300 to 400 copies of The                   
          Constabulary were distributed to attendees of the State Police              
          Chase, an annual picnic and sports day, and approximately 1,000             
          copies were hand-carried to trooper barracks over the course of a           
          couple of weeks for distribution to members of petitioner.  Each            
          year the remaining copies of The Constabulary were delivered to             
          businesses.  In some, but not all instances, copies of The                  
          Constabulary were sent to particular businesses to verify that              
          petitioner, and not some other organization, published the book.            
               During the years in issue, The Constabulary, however, was              
          not arranged as a program guide for the annual State Police Chase           
          sporting event.  The 1986, 1987, and 1988 editions of The                   
          Constabulary do not mention the State Police Chase, and in the              
          1989, 1990, and 1991 editions, the two- or three-page articles on           
          the State Police Chase relate to the previous year's event.  The            
          Constabulary was never sold to anyone for a charge.
