A scientist and engineer in his 50s, Delfino, along with his co-defendant, Mary Day (who is also his business partner and girlfriend), breathes deeply, glad to be away from Courtroom 22, where they have spent the past 15 days under accusations of defamation, invasion of privacy, and "Internet terrorism," among other things.
Delfino and Day, who are using their 401(K) plans to pay their household bills and court costs, say that though they are emotionally and financially exhausted by the lawsuit, they "refuse to be silenced."
Among them, Delfino says that Varian used cameras to videotape employees in the bathroom; Varian says the camera was merely pointed toward the bathroom door to catch Delfino in the act of harassing his supervisor, and that he has defamed the company by making the allegation.

 Michelangelo Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
In this masterly work, Professor Hibbard relates Michelangelo's art to his life and to the times in which he lived, relying on the earliest biographies and the latest scholarly research as well as on Michelangelo's own letters and poems.
Michelangelo's poems are like the letters of other artists: they range from formal words of thanks to passionate argument; they flatter patrons, address lovers - and God.
Michelangelo was, apart from being a sculptor, architect, and painter of genius, a poet and letter-writer of remarkable accomplishment.

 Review of Be Careful Who You SLAPP
Delfino in particular comes across as an oaf, the kind of person you wince at when you realize that yes, the Constitution covers him, too.
Susan Felch, a former colleague, comes off as reasonably pathetic thanks to the simple facts in the book, but Delfino has to rub it in, continually calling her a "scary yenta bitch" and insinuating that she had semen stains on her dress.
Delfino and Day, as thoroughly detestable as they appear to be, had a great starting point to strike a blow for freedom.

Late last year, Michelangelo Delfino and Mary Day were busy preparing for the publication of their first book, Be Careful Who You SLAPP (SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation).
Delfino and Day have appealed the injunction, and now, in a legal flip-flop, Varian seems to be in hot water for its attempts to suppress the book.
In November 2002, Delfino and Day allege that Varian's lawyers had sent letters to bookstores and advertising outlets warning them away from the book by implying that the court order, halted because of the appeal, was still in effect.

Michelangelo Delfino and Mary E. Day, Be Careful Who You SLAPP.
SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, and it refers to a corporate (or governmental) strategy to dispel public criticism and deflect attention from possibly unethical or criminal behavior by suing individuals and community groups (usually for nuisance, defamation, conspiracy, etc.) who oppose them on issues of public concern.
Notwithstanding the verdict, so to speak, Delfino and Day have brought attention to an issue of growing social and legal concern by recounting their story in Be Careful Who You SLAPP.

The 6-1 ruling is a victory for Michelangelo Delfino and Mary Day, two former employees of Varian Medical Systems Inc., who posted nasty messages about their ex-bosses on the Internet.
But Thursday's majority said the trial should not have gone forward because Delfino and Day had filed an anti-SLAPP motion -- a strategic lawsuit against public participation -- claiming that the company was trying to impede their speech.
Horvitz and Levy partner Jeremy Rosen argued the case for Delfino and Day, while Lynne Hermle, of the Menlo Park, Calif., office of Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, represented Varian.

 C.A.: Defamatory Internet Postings Libel, Not Slander
The messages maligned the company’s products and suggested that the two executives were incompetent and dishonest and that one of them, a woman, might have obtained her position by having sex with a supervisor.
In any case, the justice reasoned, the messages posted by Delfino and Day were “especially vituperative personal attacks” which were unlike other messages on the bulletin boards on which they appeared.
The justice said the jury’s verdict was not undermined by the fact that the verdict form did not require jurors to specifically identify the postings they found to be defamatory, though he said “the better practice might have been” to the contrary.

A California intermediate appellate court holds that the Communications Decency Act ("CDA"), 47 U.S.C. Section 230(c), immunizes an employer from claims arising out of the transmission by a then employee of threatening emails to, and posts about, plaintiffs from his office computer.
