Suffice it to say that actual injury is not limited to out-of-pocket
                      loss. Indeed, the more customary types of actual harm inflicted
                      by defamatory falsehood include impairment of reputation and
                      standing in the community, personal humiliation, and mental
                      anguish and suffering. Of course, juries must be limited by
                      appropriate instructions, and all awards must be supported by
                      competent evidence concerning the injury, although there need
                      be no evidence which assigns an actual dollar value to the injury.
