Money Quote:

One could, I suspect, go on ad infinitum. I know that honest men differ over where context stops and distortion begins: I know that many authors miss deadlines and aren't penalized; and I know that producers' assistants (even wives) have been known to tell disappointed guests one thing and their boss another. Therefore the main moral I would urge on Mark Lane is a heightened sensitivity to the unreliability of so-called eyewitnesses, even when the witness is the victim and the victim is oneself.
