• holding that a count for intentional infliction of mental distress failed, despite that the former Port Authority Deputy Director wrote an \ode\ about a candidate for port commissioner, including the references \hooker\ and \bimbo\
• reversing the dismissal of a libel claim because whether statements described actual facts or were merely absurd parodies depended on factual determinations to be made by jury
• “Statements which impute unchastity on the part of a woman plaintiff are libelous per se.”
• claim against governmental entity barred by sovereign immunity where plaintiff must prove bad faith against an individual defendant to prevail in separate claim against that defendant
• “Conspiracy is not a separate or independent tort but is a vehicle for imputing the tortious acts of one coconspirator to another to establish joint and several liability.”
