1Opinion of the Court
BORK, Circuit Judge:
The issue presented in this appeal is whether a nonresident newspaper publisher that sends an allegedly libelous article into the District of Columbia is thereby within the reach of the District of Columbia’s “long-arm statute,” D.C.Code Ann. § 13-423 (1981), 1 and thus subject to the court’s jurisdiction. The district court held that the jurisdictional statute did not reach the publisher. We think that conclusion correct and, therefore, affirm the judgment of the district court dismissing the action for lack of personal jurisdiction.
