Paul Benzaquin

[2] His father was a grain merchant, his civic-minded mother a founder of the local chapter of the League of Women Voters.

[1] He served with the 37th Infantry Division during World War II on Bougainville and in the Philippines, and was awarded the Bronze Star.

Shortly after that he moved to radio broadcasting, starting in September 1960 at WEEI,[2] where he soon afterward announced Logan Airport's first air disaster, the October 1960 crash of a Lockheed Electra.

And what a voice.In the 1970s, as an outspoken feminist, Mr. Benzaquin became interested in early childhood development and produced a long-running series for WEEI called "Being a Baby".

He won the suit when the judge ruled that Benzaquin's characterization of the officer, using various derogatory terms such as "absolute barbarian", "reprehensible" and "merciless", constituted mere vulgar abuse and hyperbole, and therefore First Amendment protected speech.
