Why threaten?

If she has a case, drag his ass to court and get all the books recalled!

If you're suing in response to an act for which some redress is possible, the courts look askance if you aren't sincere enough to ask for redress before trying to shake the court system for money. And when you're planning to sue, the well-worded nastigrams you sent along the way can be so quotable in court, and frightening to the bad guys.

Because a threat that effectively shuts down further publication, but doesn’t keep the tawdry falsehoods in the headlines, is probably a better political strategy than just unceremoniously bringing down the hammer.

I think they can accomplish that w/o going into a court room; I’m sure that they will retract, and pay quickly.
