What has always puzzled me is why he continued to be published by big, respectable firms. I mean, if his stuff really was libelous and litigious bullshite, why would reputable publishers continue to print him for decades?

Don't Lincoln Center, the Warner Bros. Archives at USC, and the other places have ANY security practices at all? For example, Harlan Ellison has been known to frisk, or pat-down, strangers leaving his home. Now that MIGHT be too much for an archive to do, but don't they take ANY security precautions at all?
