Alfred E. Newman Sues Fousesquawk

I have been notified by the attorney representing Alfred E. Newman that a lawsuit is being filed against Fousesquawk on Newman's behalf for defamation of character.

According to an affadavit filed by Newman's attorney, the basis for the lawsuit is two photographs of Newman that have appeared in Fousesquawk in the past week. Here they are:

As a result, I have formally apologized to Mr. Newman, who now says I can leave the photos up.
