Selling to Beat The Devil

<body>
<p> 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.
