What if we wait? What if we hold off on printing today. Instead we call the Attorney General and we tell them that we intend to print on Sunday. That way we give them and us time to figure out the legality of all of it, while the Court in New York decides the Times case.
Are you suggesting we alert the Attorney General to the fact that we have these documents, that we're going to print, in a few days?
RC Roger Clark
Well, yes, that is the idea.
