 NEW YORK (AP) -- The past three years have been upbeat ones for Archie,
The everyteen hero of one of America's most enduring comics. He's gotten married
twice, no less. He's even appeared on a postage stamp.
   But behind the scenes, a bitter and sometimes bizarre feud has brewed at the
company that produces the more than 70-year-old comic.
   In lawsuits, Archie Comic Publications' co-CEOs Jon Goldwater and Nancy
Silberkleit  are accusing each other of all sorts of funny business.
   He's asked a court to strip her of her role at the company. She's sued him
for defamation and $100 million in damages.
   A judge vows to appoint a temporary receiver to protect the company's assets
amid the fight if the two sides can't choose someone on their own by Wednesday.
