- Bareknuckle competition is the credo of American business,
- but James and Linda Newton may have taken things too far. In
- a lawsuit filed last week, Procter & Gamble accuses the
- Parsons, Kans., couple of promoting their independent Amway
- distributorship by linking P&G to satanism. The Newtons
- allegedly circulated a flyer claiming that the president of P&G
- "gave Satan all the credit for his riches" and offering
- information on "alternative products." For more than a decade,
- P&G has been bedeviled by the satanism charge. Tales that its
- 108-year-old moon-and-stars logo was demonic forced the symbol
- off company packaging. Three previous rumors were traced to
- Amway distributors, who were repudiated by Amway officials.
