PUBLISHER REGAN SAYS SHE HAS A WITNESS
The attorney for former publisher Judith Regan, who is suing News Corp for wrongful termination after denying a company lawyer's claim that she made anti-Semitic statements to him, says that a former temporary aide to Regan who overheard the conversation will testify in her behalf. Attorney Bert Fields said that the employee, Carmen del Toro, is prepared to testify that Regan "is telling the absolute truth, that she did not make the anti-Semitic remark attributed to her." Regan was alleged to have told company lawyer Mark Jackson that she was the victim of a "Jewish cabal" that scrapped her book deal with O.J. Simpson, then killed a Fox-TV interview with Simpson about the book. (Regan conducted the interview with Simpson herself.) News Corp later released a statement saying, "We stand by Mark Jackson's memory and his detailed notes" of the conversation with Regan.
