And, to add to the list:
Carol Billings with photograph in Sept. American Lawyer article on West
Publishing Company "Fending Off the Future", with quotation:
"It was like [West} was implying that we poor Southerners were incapable
of being unable to understand this." referring to the Louisiana public
domain citation system.

She is shown standing in front of West's Louisiana Reporter, and holding
a West CD-ROM Library slipcase.
