Replying to @NYMag
@NYMag has a piece on #FalseMemorySyndrome Foundation & its impact on #psychology. @TheStacksReader posted my 1994 @phillymag investigation of this fascinating, shocking saga & what I called "The Most Influentially Dysfunctional Family in America" #freyd thestacksreader.com/war-of-r…

Two years ago, a car killed a man on a baseball field in Maine. In that moment, a 50-year-old secret was exposed, and the fates of 3 generations of 3 families became entwined. Here, at @espn, and at 7 PM tonight, on @E60, is their story. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2939…

Honored to spend some quality time with @brinicio. Widely known as boxer, writer, and documentarian, he's also a cool guy with a literary soul. Don't know much about the weight of his fists, but he tickles the keyboard to great effect... Plus he wanted to interview me, so...
Guest this week on Tourist Information is “literary anthropologist” @therealsager discussing Kobe Bryant, profiling celebrities, the inspiration for Boogie Nights, his start at @washingtonpost, Janet Cooke’s “Jimmy’s World” debacle, a lot more: open.spotify.com/episode/0st…

Somebody named Rick Laughland from SI.com stole an Al Leiter interview I conducted for today's NY Post and passed it off as his own work. Sports Illustrated used to be a beacon of sports journalism, but has become a steaming pile of garbage.

My father Dick Schaap would have turned 85 today. “He was the most talented person in our business," Dave Anderson said. "He could do anything in journalism, whether print or broadcasting. Whatever it took, he could do it, and do it as well if not better than anyone else.”

Agreed. This is special piece, piercing as both a political and personal testament.
This is a complicated and beautiful piece that seems to stand outside of time as much as it is completely of this moment. It's vivid, somehow unmediated. Its politics and its originality suggest the very young Didion. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc… @elainaplott

READ the great Deptford trilogy.
“A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.” ― Robertson Davies #BornOnThisDay
