An article in the New York Times:

   British Critic's Book is Withdrawn

   For years, the British critic Norman Lebrecht has been throwing
   firebombs in the world of classical music, denouncing what he
   sees as industry evils in a provocative style that has sometimes
   been described as accuracy-challenged.
   
   On Thursday, in an unusually crushing act of contrition, his
   publisher agreed to recall his latest book, destroy it, say
   'Sorry' and promise not to do it again - all over a few pages
   discussing Naxos Records and its founder, Klaus Heymann.
   
   The book, 'Maestros, Masterpieces & Madness: The Secret Life and
   Shameful Death of the Classical Record Industry,' was released
   in Britain in July. Mr. Heymann sued the publisher, Penguin
   Books, in the High Court of Justice, saying the book wrongly
   accused him of 'serious business malpractices' based on false
   statements. He cited at least 15 statements he called inaccurate.
