Q U O T E--O F--T H E--D A Y


In glasshouse, throwing stones

When show-biz values triumph over journalism, everything is incredible, and how is the non-journalist to separate fact from fiction? The phenomenon isn't limited to the tabloids. In this week's New Yorker, the author of 'Primary Colors' straight-facedly lectures his fellow reporters on the decline of 'the quality of American public life' -- as if he had never contributed to this climate by telling a Clinton-style lie to the press himself for show biz's sake.”

-- New York Times columnist Frank Rich referring to author Joe Klein, who lied when he denied he was the "Anonymous" author of "Primary Colors."
