Regan Attorney and News Corp. Trade Accusations in Firing Spat - WSJ.com:

Andrew Butcher, the News Corp. spokesman, denied that the company has libeled Ms. Regan. He added that Ms. Regan said the following in the phone conversation: "Of all people, Jews should know about ganging up, finding common enemies, and telling the big lie." He said Mr. Jackson had taken notes during the conversation.

In the next breath, Mr. Butcher said, Ms. Regan said that literary agent Esther Newberg and HarperCollins employees David Hirshey, Jane Friedman, and Mr. Jackson constitute "a Jewish cabal. All of you people are conspiring against me."
