In court documents, attorneys for shareholders say the article in last week's New Yorker turned up information never revealed in years of preparation for the case, items that suggest witnesses told one story in court and another elsewhere.

For example, the article says Ovitz remembers Chief Executive Eisner laughing at his worry that Disney's board might not approve Ovitz's hiring as president.

According to the article, Ovitz recalls Eisner "ticking off the various ways that board members were beholden to him, and assuring Ovitz that they would do what he wanted."
