Concurrence Opinion
concurring in the result.
As the court below applied a per se rule, apparently without regard to the circumstances under which the words were used, I join in the reversal. See my dissenting opinion in Rosenfeld v. New Jersey, 408 U.S. 901" date_filed="1972-06-26" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Rosenfeld v. New Jersey">408 U. S. 901, 903 (1972); Lewis v.
