...salary, stock options and bonuses over a decade at the company, has already conceded much of the case. In a November 1997 agreement that is still partly secret, the company admitted it owed Katzenberg more bonus money, with the figure to be decided by a private judge. Sources tell TIME that Disney subsequently cut two checks totaling $117 million. Katzenberg, however, is still pushing for upwards of $200 million more on everything from Disney's online business to T shirts, saying it is "an annuity for my children." His lawyers almost danced with excitement when a Disney memo was introduced...

You're a 54-year-old man making a movie about a bad guy named "Darth Maul." Compared to Lucas, I'm John Gray, buddy...
...trash television. Amedure family attorney Geoffrey Fieger, who made his name defending euthanasia doctor Jack Kevorkian, insisted that it sent a message to "renegade outlaw talk shows" to clean up their act. "If you wish to engage in these types of shows, at least be forthright," he said. "Tell the people what they're going to get involved in, tell them you're going to be talking about lurid, obscene sexual fantasies, and make sure you don't involve mentally ill people who could later strike...
