Executive Summary
Amends existing suit against Procter & Gamble charging the company "provided assistance" to Sidney Schwartz, creator of a "negative Web site" designed to "damage or destroy Amway's business through the Internet." Ada, Mich.-based Amway filed the complaint in federal court in Grand Rapids, Mich. April 14. Amway claims it discovered P&G's support of the "Web-based smear campaign" during its defense against a suit that charged Amway with associating P&G and Satanism. That suit was dismissed in Salt Lake City Utah federal court March 29 ("The Rose Sheet" April 5, In Brief)
