The National Enquirer, well known for articles on celebrities, lost a big libel judgment to actress Carol Burnett after it claimed that she had been seen drunk in public with Henry Kissinger. The fact that both of her parents suffered from alcoholism made this a particularly sensitive issue to Burnett.
