Current news articles reveal that infamous Bay Area media mo-ghoul Saul Zaentz 
(Fantasy Records, producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest movie, and 
subject of John Fogerty's satirical song "Zaentz Can't Dance" - his production 
company  "Middle Earth Enterprises" owns liscensing rights to "The Hobbit"  name

 and is suing a small pub in England which had taken the name years ago. 
Perhaps this is all part of the onslaught of legal broom swishing being done to

Just musing.

Our digital content person didn't say why the publisher requested it be 
withdrawn. Sorry I can't help you out with that.

Just out of curiosity, why did the publisher request that the PQ copy be 
withdrawn?
