Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Bower's Black book is bile Should be a fun trial: Conrad Black has launched an $11-million libel suit against Tom Bower, the author of 'Conrad & Lady Black: Dancing on the Edge', calling him "vindictive, high-handed, contemptuous, sadistic, pathologically mendacious and malicious." Black alleges in his statement of claim that Bower's 436-page book is "evil and devoid of any redeeming or even mitigating qualities," reports the Globe and Mail. He also alleges that Bower's book portrays his wife, Barbara Amiel Black, as "grasping, hectoring, slatternly, extravagant, shrill and a harridan." The judge is going to need a dictionary just to read the statement of claim. # posted by Adam Daifallah : 9:31 PM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
