A federal appeals court yesterday reinstated a New Hampshire woman's lawsuit alleging a magazine libeled her by running a photo of her and others with an article headlined, ''The Mating Habits of the Suburban High School Teenager."
The appeals court ruled that Stanton's allegations ''sufficiently state a defamation claim based on the theory that Metro negligently used Stanton's photograph to illustrate a story describing teenagers as sexually promiscuous without realizing that the publication might therefore be reasonably understood to mean that she was sexually promiscuous."
