The manuscript runs over a thousand pages with about 300000 words, creating a heavy workload to cite disputed passages for removal or revision. Negotiators aim to resolve by Tuesday before a Manhattan Supreme Court hearing, while Look Magazine agreed to delete or revise about 1600 words in a serialization.
