The Pooh Papers: The Wrong Barrel of Wildcats (http://www.american-reporter.com/1943/11.html) - The American Reporter, 10/2/02
Joe Shea continues his writings about the ongoing Winnie the Pooh lawsuit between the Walt Disney Company and the Slesinger heirs.
QuikQuote: Around noon, they served my wife with the summons and three Winnie the Pooh contracts dating back to 1930, and then came back at six with a summons for me - this one with "The Pooh Papers" attached - demanding that we give depositions and deliver to them every scrap of paper has something to do with Mireya's work as a maid for Pati Slesinger, and in my case, with my series of 23 articles about her mother's long-running lawsuit over money owed her by Disney under a license she gave them to use the characters in the 1926 children's best-seller, Winnie The Pooh.
Disney's subpoenas are part of a campaign to terrorize journalists who have been calling a thief a thief, and in the case of this journalist and his wife, their plan has just stopped working.
