ERB: My Famous Father-ln-Law
By James Pierce "He had no religious affiliation, and none of the family ever attended church to my knowledge. Mr. Burroughs was an agnostic, I believe, and unlike W. C. Fields, did not turn to the Bible toward the end of his life. A friend asked him, "What are you doing with the Bible, Ed?" "Looking for a loophole," was his reply. He did not believe in funerals. He requested no services and cremation. His wishes were granted. He requested his ashes rest beneath his favorite, very old oak tree, location of which is known only to his family." http://www.erbzine.com/mag9/0940.html

THE GUARDIAN ~ UK
Monday March 22, 2004 3:31 PM WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has ducked a copyright fight over Tarzan storybooks. Justices on Monday rejected an appeal from heirs of illustrator Burne Hogarth, who wanted a share of the rights to ``Tarzan of the Apes'' and ``Jungle Tales of Tarzan,'' both published in the 1970s. Tarzan was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Long before his death in 1950, Burroughs gave a family corporation control of the Tarzan likeness and rights to his 26 stories. An appeals court had said that the family business was the rightful owner of the two contested books because it commissioned Hogarth to do the illustrations. The case is Estate of Burne Hogarth v. Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc., 03-1009. June Release
