I doubt any name-slurring is involved, Lace. This lawsuit is going to give both sides tons of free publicity, and everyone involved should benefit by increased sales. There's another side to this kind of notoriety besides selling more books, however. I'd be willing to bet that the fees Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln are able to command on the lecture circuit are climbing as we speak. Losing a high-profile court case like this one should be worth something on the order of $20,000 an appearance.

I wish I could find someone to sue me (or vice versa) to boost sales of my book! (Hmmmm ... perhaps Mark and I can arrange something to our mutual advantage.)
