Today's front page story on Gov. Schwarzenegger and his bulldog lawyer Martin Singer getting tough with improper uses of Arnold's likeness is the first L.A. Times byline for Robert Salladay, a new hire in the Sacramento Capitol bureau. He comes from the San Francisco Chronicle. The bureau is also adding Jordon Rau, the Albany, NY bureau chief for Newsday, in mid-April. They replace Gregg Jones, who left for the Dallas Morning News, and Nancy Vogel.
"You don't overexpose an asset like the governor," Stutzman said. "If it's not special anymore to see the governor promoting something, then you lose an advantage that we otherwise would have. That's just a fundamental principle of marketing."
This is weird too.

I found this line in the article most disturbing:
"This you have done at your peril," Singer wrote to South in his letter, which itself was copyrighted.
Singer copyrights his correspondence?
