Time magazine is to ask Indonesia's top court to review a ruling that orders the magazine to pay $106m (£52m) for defaming the former Indonesian dictator Suharto. Time ran a cover story in May 1999 alleging that the Suharto family had amassed billions of dollars during his 32-year rule. Time won two earlier court hearings, but last month the country's supreme court reversed those decisions. The magazine, having since studied the supreme court ruling, argues that the court gave "little rationale for either the ruling or the amount of the damages." (Via International Herald Tribune)
