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.
