Merton Roland "Rod" Nachman Jr (1923-2015) was the lawyer for the plaintiff in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. He is best known for that case, which he lost, although he had actually appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States a decade earlier (in 1951 when he was just 27) where he won. After his death, Montgomery Advertiser journalist Coke Ellington recalled his often saying that "The greatest thing I ever did for the Advertiser was to lose that case.". Later in life he was to often express the sentiment, reported by his family in his obituary that he "would rather be famous for a case he won rather than one he lost".
