In short, Harper Lee agreed to let Aaron Sorkin write a script, but it wasn’t supposed to change the characters or “denigrate” them. Lee’s dead, but her lawyer says the script (of a play that’s supposed to open on Broadway in December) goes too far. “What happens now? The two sides could settle the dispute.

Henry Moore, Tate Trustee, Insulted Barbara Hepworth’s Sculpture And Promoted His Own
Henry Moore was a canny and vicious manipulator of the Tate, a former director’s diary reveals: “In 1945, the Tate’s board was considering whether to purchase a wooden sculpture by Barbara Hepworth.
