Morrissey won a court apology from
Word Magazine for suggesting that the author of "Asian Rut" was a racist and a hypocrite. His case against the
NME's similar accusations is still pending. Sez Mozz: "
Word Magazine made the mistake of repeating [the
NME's] allegations, which they now accept are false and, as a result, have apologised in Open Court. I will now continue to pursue my legal action against the
NME and its editor until they do the same." [
