This is an appeal from a summary judgment dismissing a defamation suit brought against a paper, a reporter and a chemical laboratory which was consulted by the reporter and became a source for a story alleging that bottled "spring water" was not in fact pure spring water. We affirm substantially for the reasons expressed by Judge Skillman in his written opinion reported at 191 N.J.Super. 202 (Law Div. 1983).
