'Fifty Shades' Of DSK: With $400 Million At The Box, The Movie Will Definitely Have A Sequel; Dominque Strauss-Kahn Might Have One Too
Hollywood has long looked to high
profile criminal trials for source material. Now it seems it's looking to them
for box office synergy.
I mean, scheduling Fifty Shades of
Grey to open in the very same week that the DSK trial was peaking in the
French city of Lille is classic synergy, oui?
So much so in fact I wonder whether
magazine editors in NYC --or the publicists coaching them---missed a great
opportunity to capitalize on that convergence by not assigning former IMF
official Dominque Strauss-Kahn himself to review the film.
According to various news reports,
Straus-Kahn seems to be at a moment of dawning self awareness about his own
rough sex excesses, which took place during high end hotel orgies that he has said helped him release the stress of "saving the
This might give DSK unique insight the ultra
luxe kinkiness of the movie's Christian Grey, he of the S&M playroom, the
bondage neckties and rather odd regard for sexual contracts.
As the New York Post put it, "after
two former hookers described brutal sexual encounters with the disgraced former
International Monetary Fund chief, (DSK) said he finally understands the sex
wasn't as good for them as it was for him."
Describing her experience
at a wild hotel orgy, one former prostitute recalled a moment that was "more
than unpleasant" when she was lying with her back to "Monsieur DSK" and she,
using the passive voice, "suffered a penetration." The prostitute told the
court: "If he had asked me, I would have said no. I didn't like that. " She
added: "With a swinger, you at least ask the question. I was impaled and he
didn't ask at all." Asked to account for why DSK might have behaved in such a
manner, she speculated that "I think it was because I was a prostitute,"
adding that "Unless, somehow, he thinks he is on a different level to the rest
of us and he can do anything that he wants."
Another former prostitute
claimed he forced her to have anal sex while she wept. "I cried a lot," she
said while Strauss-Kahn smiled from start to finish.
According to the Times, Straus-Kahn "discussed his sexual
predilections with the matter-of-fact demeanor of a banker describing
macroeconomic policy," noting that DSK "insisted that he did not know some of
the women were prostitutes, and that sexual ardor was no crime." Strauss-Kahn
told the court that
I think I must have a
form of sexuality which is rougher than the average. I am beginning to realize
that and I deplore it. But I had no idea at the time that these experiences
were so unpleasant as the women now say.
Besides offering insight into the manners and mores of the sexual demi-monde DSK inhabited, trial coverage offered a look into the distinctly French political psyche. The Times said that
If nothing else, the
Strauss-Kahn case has revealed the limits of what even the libertine French
will tolerate from their leaders. For many, Mr. Strauss-Kahn had gone too far.
It was not the
bacchanalian scenes of libertinage pored over in a Lille courtroom that
appeared to offend French sensibilities, but rather the lack of judgment and
recklessness of a powerful man, who believed that he was invincible.
The French public's
takeaway however, was far from clear-cut. One French legal correspondent told
the Times that "There is little doubt that Mr. Strauss-Kahn is now
politically dead" but that even if many people feel that DSK "behaved like a
pig, they also think he is a very able and competent economist and still has a
role to play." It was, the correspondent said, "a very French reaction." The Times
noted that in ne public opinion poll taken before the trial, "79 percent of
those polled thought Mr. Strauss-Kahn would have been a better president than
the current one, François Hollande."
biographer, Michel Taubmann, noted the "huge downfall," but offered the
possibility of redemption. "A man who was once on the cover of Newsweek for
saving the international financial system found himself first in Rikers and now
in a Lille court, alongside a pimp," Taubman explained. "Can he be a new man, a
better man? Anything is possible."

On Rolling Stone UVA Rape Post-Mortem, Why Is Columbia Journalism School Taking So Long?
For those who still actually remember the great
Rolling Stone UVA "campus rape" fiasco brought to us in late 2014 by
prize-winning reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely, the wait for the Columbia
Journalism School's investigation into what went wrong there is growing a bit
frustrating --- and puzzling.
Identifying the bad editorial decisions and poor
reporting methods that led to this journalistic train wreck isn't exactly a
lay-up, but it's not exactly on par with the challenges faced by the 911
Commission either.
In fact, it's been two months now since Rolling
Stone gave up on the internal review it spent several weeks telling media
reporters it was conducting on its own and threw the ball to Columbia J School.
In announcing the Columbia J School's involvement, Rolling Stone owner Jann
Wenner said J School Dean Steve Coll and Academic Affairs Dean Sheila Coronel,
herself an much-acclaimed investigative reporter, would be leading the "independent
review," of the "editorial process" that led to the publication of the
controversial story. At the time, Coll told the New York Times that Rolling
Stone had promised unfettered access to its staff and materials, and that while
they were going to focus on the "editorial process" he and his colleague had "the
freedom to move in any direction along the way that we believe would be germane
and of public interest." The Times also noted that while Coll said he
hoped to complete the review "as soon as possible," he did not have "a firm
Some cynics thought the hand-off was a savvy crisis
management tool on the part of Rolling Stone, a way to stall for time so that
sharp-knived media reporters might move on to other, newer things. But Steve
Coll was too smart and had too good a reputation to get suckered into carrying
Jann Wenner's water, I remember thinking.
As noted however, we're at the two month mark. And
if the old Japanese adage that people tend to forget everything after two
and half months holds here, Coll and his team will be publishing their
findings just as everyone's interest in the case, and the sense of urgency it
produced, has dissipated. It's not a matter of "justice delayed is
justice denied." The libel lawyers will certainly have their day in court, most
likely a very lucrative one. But in terms of broader public interest, the window on that is closing,
which is going to limit the attention the J School report receives and with
that the "impact" it will have in terms of who is held accountable and what
kind of accountability they will experience. The wait just works in Rolling
Stone's favor. It's hard to scream for heads to roll or other
forms of professional sanction when everyone around you is scratching their own
heads trying to recall what all the fuss was about-- or yawning because other
things that just happened yesterday are just so much more interesting,
principally because they just happened.
I've been rubbernecking on the Rolling Stone UVA
Rape story pretty hard--maybe too hard, perhaps indulging in schadenfreude
to mask the unconscious dread I might have at the prospect, far-fetched though
it is, of one day finding myself in the same position as Sabrina Rubin Erdely.
But as a career-long magazine writer, I do also find it fascinating how much of
a "perfect storm" this case represents--how much it seems to embody many of the
less desirable tendencies in this end of the journalism business---the premium
put on "narrative storyline" at the expense of inconvenient facts that might
clutter or complicate it; the need to know what your story is before even
getting your assignment (and your reporting allowance); the overreliance on
digital reporting at the expense of spending time in the field, on the ground,
doing the face-to-face reporting that used to be considered journalistically
indispensable but is now regarded as merely decorative. I've discussed the
ridiculously paltry time Sabrina Rubin Erdely spent in Charlottesville itself
reporting her story---one weekend---with fellow professionals and with
civilians alike, most of whom are quite struck when I bring it to their attention.
But the only people who are not struck by it have been fellow media
professionals, either because they've come to accept this lack of shoe leather
reporting as a sad, if disturbing, sign of the times or because they actually
don't think it matters, which is even more disturbing.
I also find the Rolling Stone disaster so
compelling for what it says about who gets recognized and who does not in the
magazine writing biz. Sabrina Rubin Erdely may have been of the right
ethnicity, and might have had the right Ivy League credentials. But after
combing through her oeuvre, which reflects an annoying ideological
predictability and may yet to be found holding other journalistic dishonesties
on par with her UVA piece, I can't help but think of her in terms other than
the Emperor's New Clothes. The fact that she won so many seemingly prestigious
journalism awards seems to say less about her noteworthy talents than it says about the
credulousness and cheap politics of the organizations who bestowed those awards on her, which it should be noted, include Columbia J School itself in the form of the Dart
Center Award for Excellence in Coverage of Trauma Rubin Erdely won in 2013. It's also
quite striking that Rubin Erdely's piece is still up on the Rolling Stone
website despite having been almost thoroughly debunked by reporters from the
Washington Post, ABC News, CNN and others. The fact that the online version is
now framed by an editorial note acknowledging that the piece's disputed status
just doesn't justify leaving it up there for so long in such a wounded state.
It may have been a bit premature of me to call for its removal back in early
December on WNYC Brian Lehrer's show. But for that piece to be still up
there a full two months later, like bad meat hanging in a butcher's window, is
just contemptible. The piece is full of misrepresentations, falsehoods
and collective character assassination. Why would any publication pretending to
be serious about its journalistic credibility and reputation leave a piece with
those kind of issues up on its site?
Coll and team have been maintaining a tight seal on
what they have found. But some facets of their investigative approach have
leaked. They are, in fact, conducting face to face interviews with the
principals involved at the magazine, and have taken these depositions, so to
speak "at various locations," as one source put it, meaning they've gone into
the Rolling Stone offices to interview some of the subjects and have met with
others up at Columbia or at neutral locations. Contrary to rumor, I've been
told that Columbia has no complaint about RS level of cooperation, although it
has been difficult to schedule interviews with editors and fact-checkers given
the magazine twice-a-month closings. As for the sixty-four dollar question
whether Sabrina Rubin Erdely is cooperating, no one will say, although if I
were her lawyer, I certainly would not advise her to do so. No word either
on whether Coll and Coronel have journeyed to UVA to re-report parts of the
Rolling Stone piece purporting to document "institutional
indifference"on the part of administrators, although some have argued this
is "germane and of public interest."
The real mystery left unexplained by Columbia's
slow delivery is what kind of deal Rubin Erdely, and presumably her editors,
struck with "Jackie," the article's central source, for the use of her story
about the fraternity gang rape she claimed to have suffered. According to the
Washington Post, after giving Rubin Erdely extensive interviews, Jackie told
the reporter that she had grown uncomfortable about the magazine using her
story and would prefer not to be included in the piece. The Post said that the
magazine only secured Jackie's permission to do so by making an agreement that
let Jackie "fact check" her own story. But the paper did not say if that fact-checking privilege extended to
aspects of the article that involved more than what personally happened to
Jackie in the fraternity bedroom that night, such as the experiences of other
alleged assault victims or the purportedly callow, self-involved response of the three friends
Jackie called for help that night.
Columbia could be finding this question more involved to answer than it might seem, since it's always more time-consuming to figure out stupid than people generally think. This might help explain the delay in publishing the Columbia post-mortem, yet it won't make that post-mortem any less dead-on-arrival if we have to wait much longer to read it. The quality of the report will most likely be very high, showing intelligence about the right questions to ask and diligence in answering them. If the case no longer holds public attention however, that report will be of academic interest only. Odd that the deans of such a prestigious journalism school wouldn't have set themselves a deadline.

If Netanyahu Does Speak To Congress, Maybe Pat Buchanan Should Have A Say-So Too
Jim Fallows at the Atlantic says we should listen to what Netanyahu has to say to Congress in rebuttal to Obama on Iran. According to Fallows we should pay especially close attention to Netanyahu's core claim that the challenges of a nuclear Iran today hark back to the challenge of Nazism that the world shrank from in 1938. Fallows:
Let's listen; let's set aside, if we can, the
unprecedented and insulting nature of his appearance before Congress; and then
let's think carefully about American national interests, which no foreign
leader can define. I believe they're very different from what Netanyahu is
If so, I have a modest proposal: Let Patrick
Buchanan give the surrebuttal, as such a rebuttal-to-the rebuttal is
known in debate club argot.
Buchanan has been a pariah in certain circles ever
since he referred to Congress as "Israeli occupied territory" on a 1991
broadcast of the McLaughlin Group when voicing opposition to the first Gulf
The remark was in line with other controversial bon
mots Buchanan delivered around that time. Among them was a disparaging reference
to the Israel Defense Forces' "amen corner" on Capitol Hill, as well as complaints about disporportinately
low rates of Jewish-American military service, which would mean that "kids
with names like McAllister, Murphy, Gonzales, and Leroy Brown" would
be bearing the brunt of any Middle East fighting. These hot words led to
William F. Buckley's infamous National Review article in which he said
it was "impossible to defend" Buchanan from the charge of anti
Semitism, although Buckley qualified it a bit by saying that it was probably
Buchanan's "iconoclastic temperament" that had driven him to say what he had
said and not bigotry. Former NYT executive editor Abe Rosenthal went much
further though, insisting that Buchanan's remarks could pave the way for
another Auschwitz.
This eventually led to Buchanan's almost complete
marginalization within the GOP. In the following years, pro Israel neoconservatives gained control
and power, and often expressed their delight and domination over the "paleocons" (and even the "realists" like Bush 1 stalwart Brent Scowcroft) they had purged with a gloating triumphalism and arrogance---a kind of
rhetorical frog-marching. The power grab that put neoconservatives in control of America's Israel policy will go down as Bill Kristol's legacy, as will the McCarthy-esque smearing, denunciation and demagoguery associated with that.
The prospect of Netanyahu speaking before a joint session of Congress to second-guess presidential strategy on Iran's nuclear development however seems to redeem some of Buchanan's anathemas. It also seems to redeem that
controversial cartoon that the Economist was forced to pull a little more
than a year ago suggesting that Israel's undue influence in Congress was limiting Obama's range of diplomatic options with Tehran.
The speech, which will mark the third
time that the Israeli Prime Minister will have addressed joint sessions of
Congress, seems to represent a tipping point when the offensiveness of Buchanan's purported slur seems to pale before the offensiveness of the pro Israel overreach that is involved at this moment. It's an undeniable sign of the excess deference that Congress has long
paid to Israel--and to its American Zionist supporters--- on both sides of the aisle. Which has led to an undesirable intermingling of our two very different political cultures--or at least the perception of that---as well as a confusion
of what is expressly in America's national interest and what is in Israel's. In
lobby-speak it's called "capture," which is a different thing from an "occupation" as in "Israeli-occupied territory" but not by much.
I'm being somewhat facetious; don't mean to let
Buchanan completely off the hook. His utterances may not have been anti Semitic
per se but they did come unfortunately too close to the "tropes" that are considered verboten in the American discourse on Israel and his use of them was probably counterproductive in terms of opening up public debate. But what happens when the
truth and the trope converge, as they seem to be doing now? When the realities of foreign policy-making become indistinguishable from a cartoon?
As impious as he may have been, Buchanan said
something that historical facts show was true enough back then and is
even more true now. In light of the lobby's unseemly, even dangerous hold on Congress, as explored last summer by none other than the New Yorker, it's just very hard, maybe even "impossible," to defend Pat
Buchanan from the charge of being prescient. What he identified in the early 1990s has grown into something too big to ignore, or to be bullied into denying.

Lede of the Day: On Netanyahu Speech To Congress, the Washington Post Says Dems Are "skittish about appearing to be out of sync with whatever Israel wants."
Truly remarkable lede to Greg Sargent's on-line Washington
Post column this morning which ran under the headline "From Many Democrats,
An Odd Silence On Netanyahu's Speech"
The piece reported on the the consternation among Democrats
about how to respond to the speech Netanyahu is planning to give to Congress
next month to rebut President Obama on the need to continue negotiations with
Iran over its nuclear program. As per Sargent's lede:
To hear Congressional aides tell it, many House
Democrats are angry at the prospect of Benjamin Netanyahu addressing Congress
at a time when it could set back President Obama's hopes for progress in
nuclear negotiations with Iran. But relatively few of them are willing to say
so publicly — the latest indication that Democrats remain deeply skittish about
appearing to be out of sync with whatever Israel wants.
Has it really come to this? Whatever Israel
Since diving into the discourse about the US-Israel
"special relationship" two years ago after necons tried to crucify Chuck Hagel
with totally baseless charges of anti Semitism, a recognition that this relationship is as "an
alliance too far" has become as unavoidable as it is lamentable. The cravenness of the pro Israel deference is jarring, at least to anyone with a sense for the national honor (though the Israel
Fisters defending the prospects of the speech would probably find a way to call
that very patriotism anti Semitic too.) It's as if there's been a silent coup of some sort, an almost Masonic-style conspiracy ready to punish those who point it out. Anyone checked that honker of a Scottish Rite Temple on 16th Street NW in DC lately to see who is going in and out---what kind of lapel pins or hats they're wearing?
Sargent goes on to note that Politico has a
story reporting that dozens of House Democrats are threatening to boycott
the speech, although "virtually all of them are lodging this threat 'privately.'"
As annoying as the idea of Netanyahu rebuking an
American president before a joint session of Congress may be, the prospect is
welcome at the level of clarifying just how much discomfort---fear, really---members of Congress feel about expressing that discomfort. The
exigencies of the "special relationship" impose quite a burden, and
one not terribly "American" I should add.
"Because of the support they get from Jewish voters and donors, etc...," Jeffrey Goldberg said today on Twitter, in response to Sargent. Goldberg doesn't elaborate, but the money involved is formidable. Jewish-Americans represent barely 2% of the electorate but contribute roughly 50% to the two major parties in any presidential year. And that was before moguls like Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban (who is a dual US-Israeli citizen) recently pledged to make unlimited donations to the candidates of their respective choices. According to reports Saban said he would give "whatever it takes" to see Hillary Clinton become president. Of course when Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer cited Jewish votes and Jewish money in their analysis of American support for Israel, both in their 2006 London Review of Books article and The Israel Lobby which followed, ethnic defenders like Goldberg, a former IDF soldier who still retains Israeli citizenship despite declaring he was going to renounce it, jumped all over the authors. The Israel lobby, said Goldberg was only a sign of the remarkable political "empowerment" of American Jews.

The Israel lobby, said Goldberg was only a sign of the remarkable political "empowerment" of American Jews.
I'll be expanding upon this idea of why Netanyahu's
speech is welcome on other fronts that disparage the "special
relationship," at least in its current overreaching form. For now though
it's just so delicious to hear the Jeffrey Goldbergs of the world echo the very
same ideas that Walt and Mearsheimer were smeared for in Goldberg's
goyim-baiting, demagogic TNR review back in 2007. It was a very
good career move back then, this kind of smearing, a critical step in Goldberg
becoming the "official therapist of the "special relationship." And let's not
forget that Goldberg got a very big assist on that career boost from former TNR literary editor Leon Wiseltier, recipient of
the $1 million Dan Prize for lifelong service to Israel. It was Leon after all who assigned
and edited the TNR smear; it's not beyond suspicion that this is one of the services that the Dan Prize people had in mind. It's certainly helped put off for a significant period of time a reckoning with Walt
and Mearsehimer's core arguments, leaving America with little leverage on
Israel as it has gone about nullifying the Two State Solution, even as we
pretend we still have an honest broker role in achieving it.
One of the core issues at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that of borders: establishing mutually agreed upon lines demarcating two independent, sovereign states. Meanwhile, as the Netanyahu speech undercores with a certain obviousness, the core issue at the center of the US-Israel special relationship seems to be one of boundaries---as in "boundary issues." Time to stop the projecting. We are not them; they are not the 51st state. We have a representative body called the US Congress; they have the Knsesset. This, no matter how much pro-Israel supporters insist on the trying to fuse together our two very different political cultures and how much these supporters drone on about the "shared values" that make us "brothers joined at the hip." As the Yiddish would have it: narishkeit

As Per Yemen's Houthi Rebels, Where Would We All Be Without The BBC?
Houthis rebels on the move in Yemen |
Completely in the dark, at least on the
role that this group of rebels is playing in Yemen's current political chaos.
This week saw the ouster of Yemen's President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi after
Houthi rebels swept down from the mountainous north of the country late last
year and gained control of the capital city of Sanaa. The instability has
created a worrying power vacuum in Yemen, where the US maintains a significant
drone program and American special forces are training Yemeni counter-terrorism
units. Most authorities regard the Houthis themselves as a relatively
insignificant force in terms of the wider War on Terror, though there are some
indications the Houthis have Iranian backing and their anti Israel, anti Semitic rhetoric, however
stock, isn't heartening to hear. But many fear that the turmoil could
lead to gains for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
At any rate, Friday morning's BBC Newshour carried an
interview between presenter Owen Bennett Jones and Middle East expert Simon Henderson
of the Washington Institute (also known as the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy.)
Among other things, the segment examined Yemen's
complicated political and tribal dynamics, which are made even more tangled by
crosscutting religious sectarianism.
At one point (37 minutes, 20
seconds into the hour) Bennett-Jones asked Henderson what percentage of the
population are Houthis. It was a small fraction, Henderson answered
in clipped King's English, adding somewhat wryly:
Houthais are Zaidis who are almost Shias... but not
all Zaidis are Houthis.
Still groggy, just sipping my first cup,
Henderson's almost self-parodying precision made me chuckle. Well then,
right…. Glad we got that one cleared up… I had been so confused.
Sectarian differences in that part of the world can
get pretty fine-grained. But you could almost hear some of the more
exasperated---and bloodyminded---soldiers in the War on Terror screaming:
"Bomb 'em all and let God sort 'em out!" Americans in particular
don't have a taste for the nuance and complexity that an accurate assessment of
a situation like Yemen demands. Recall Bush 43 had to have someone explain the
difference between Shia and Sunni.

On Rolling Stone UVA 'Rape' Hoax, Did Time Magazine Get Suckered Too?
It's hard to imagine how the Rolling
Stone UVA rape debacle could involve any more journalistic malfeasance
than what's been demonstrated by the reporter who wrote the story, the editors
who shepherded it and the fact checkers who vetted it.
Yet Saturday's Washington Post suggests
that Time magazine also may have been remiss in some of the attention it
paid to Rolling Stone's dubious "campus rape" story,
specifically to the angry backlash the Rolling Stone story has fueled.
The Post's T. Rees Shapiro, who who has led the Post's
on-the-ground reporting effort in Charlottesville that has revealed so much
about the case that Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely
had not, conducted an interview with author and rape activist Liz Seccuro.
Seccuro had been a key source for the Rolling Stone piece and had gone
to to bat for it in Time after skeptics began to attack
it in early December. According to the interview, Seccuro not yet
read the Rolling Stone piece when she defended it. The revelation
suggests, without saying so directly, that Time got bamboozled too.
Seccuro, who was gang raped in 1984 at the same UVA frat as the undergraduate in the Rolling Stone piece and served as one of Erdely's main informants, told Shapiro that she has since developed doubts about the Rolling Stone piece. Her turnabout was prompted by "evidence appearing in news reports" which highlighted "inconsistencies in the magazine's account," as Shapiro put it. The reversal made Seccuro "the latest among a growing group of sexual assault survivors, U-Va. students and fraternity members to raise concerns about the Rolling Stone account." According to Seccuro:
I think it's important, for a gang-rape survivor at
U-Va. who was portrayed in this story, to say what was a red flag to me. I
became frustrated in that I felt like the work of so many other people in the
article went down the toilet.
The Post explains that Seccuro gave lengthy interviews to Rubin Erdely about her 1984 assault and the woeful response to that assault at the time on the part of UVA deans, establishing a culture of institutional indifference on UVA's part that stretched back thirty years. As Seccuro told it, she also served as one of Rubin Erdely's shadow advisors, helping to hook up the writer with other experts on college sexual assault. Describing an almost sisterly bond, Seccuro said she was on the phone with the author on the eve of the story's publication. Seccuro was excited, sure that the piece "was going to rock the world and shake it to its core."
Shapiro notes that in the face of early challenges to
the article by bloggers like Richard Blow and columnists like the LAT's Jonah
Goldberg, Seccuro did some serious damage control on Rubin Erdley's behalf. In a Time Magazine essay that she published on December 4th,
Seccuro wrote that
many Americans, I read the gruesome account of a gang rape at the University of
Virginia's Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house, as told by reporter Sabrina Rubin
Erdely in a recent issue of Rolling Stone.
Unlike most people who read the article, I was not shocked by it.
similarities between my experience and Jackie's story are astounding because
the culture has remained almost identical in the three decades separating our
Seccuro urged readers not to doubt
a rape survivor's story just because the details sounded "horrific." False
reporting of rape was very rare, she wrote, adding:
Those who make false
accusations are despicable, and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law. But we cannot choose to disbelieve an account simply because it's too
awful to fathom. I am living proof — verified by the Virginia courts — that the
horror is all too real.
Seccuro also told Shapiro that she
now thinks Jackie might have cribbed details of her alleged Phi Psi gang rape
from the 2011 memoir Seccuro published about her ordeal, Crash Into Me. The Post said that Seccuro "was struck by how her own story
was 'similar in so many, many ways,' to Jackie's account in Rolling Stone." While
she said she didn't know whether Jackie's story was influenced by her book, the
"horrifying thought" had been suggested to her. Seeming to want to have it both ways, Seccuro declared:
don't want the attention to be on me. But there's only been one documented gang
rape at Phi Kappa Psi, and it's mine, so do the math."
Seccuro's suggestion that Jackie
plagiarized the details of her attack from Seccuro's memoir echoes charges made by some caustic bloggers who noted similarities between details and imagery used in Rolling Stone's depiction of the gang rape scene and "Gone Girl," Ben Affleck's recent Hollywood movie. But the real bombshell in the Post interview was
the revelation that as
excited as Seccuro was about the piece's impending publication---and as ardent
as she was in its defense afterwards---when the story actually went live, Seccuro said she
couldn't find the will to read it.
"I decided I was not strong enough
to read the entire article" she confessed to Shapiro, adding that she "had no
reason to read it because I knew what was going to be in there."
Seccuro told Shapiro however that when she did finally sit down to read the magazine in early December, she immediately spotted red flags in the
narrative and "decided to take it apart with a fresh eye." As the Post put it:
with a highlighter and pen, Seccuro began to circle, underline and annotate in
the margins.
highlighted the detail that the room where Jackie alleged she was attacked was
pitch-black. She underlined a section that described how Jackie crashed through
a low glass table, causing shards to cut into her back as the men raped her. In
another section, Seccuro wrote in the margins: "Not possible."
Seccuro's change of opinion on the
Rolling Stone piece and her explanation for that change very definitely suggests
that she hadn't yet actually read the piece when she used a
platform given to her by Time magazine to bash early critics of the Rolling
Stone piece. Many of those critics sensed, as Seccuro eventually would, that almost all the forensics involved in the
description of Jackie's assault were "not possible."
Shots In The Dark blogger Richard
Bradley, who has been aces on the Rolling Stone story from the get-go, has a slightly more
ambiguous take on the question of whether Seccuro read the piece or not before
publishing in Time. But like me, he senses disingenuousness on Seccuro's part, as well as blatant opportunism, explaining that
If I had to
guess—and I do—when things were going well for the (Rolling Stone) article, she was trying to piggyback on the positive
publicity it was getting, particularly among women. Now that the article has
been thoroughly discredited, she wants to get back on the right side of
Neither the Post nor Richard
Bradley make it explicit, but it is hard not
to conclude from Seccuro's about-face, as well as her explanation for it, that when Time Magazine
gave her the green light they were giving it to someone who wasn't telling
them the truth and in turn told a lie to their readers. Essentially, she spoke with authority
about something she had not really read and impugned the integrity of skeptical journalists
who had in fact read it quite closely.
I was curious: Did the editors at
Time have the same takeaway I had from the confession Seccuro made in the Post?
If so, how had Time magazine gone about letting someone write about a piece she hadn't really read. Who brought
Seccuro in, who edited her piece, and who fact checked it? And now that Seccuro has admitted she hadn't actually read the Rolling Stone piece she so ardently defended, was Time
going to run a correction, or append an editor's note to the text online? If
so, it might be kinda tough to get the wording right. I mean, what do you say: "The
author told us she read the piece that she stood up for here but in fact she later admitted she had not really read it. We regret the fact that her defense it was basically bogus"?
Repeated calls and emails to Ryan Sager, the Time.com deputy editor I was told handles guest contributions like Seccuro's, were unreturned. So were outreach efforts to Liz Seccuro herself and to the many representatives
listed on her contact page: a literary agent, a film agent, a freelance magazine agent, a speaker's bureau agent.
I did get an auto reply from Seccuro's literary agent that among other things explained that if I wanted to book "Liz" as a speaker for my institution or firm, I should get in touch with her speaker's bureau guy. The email also noted that "Liz is not empowered to give legal or financial advice regarding individual cases." Like the Time magazine piece she authored, this caveat seems to need a bit of amending too. To the list of things Liz Seccuro might not be "empowered" to give, add "journalistic criticism" as well as "second guessing."

Geologists say Hollywood project may sit on quake fault
LOS ANGELES — City officials missed signs in a geological report that suggest a $200 million residential and commercial development under construction in Hollywood might be above an earthquake fault, according to city records and interviews.
The information was contained in reports written by a geotechnical engineering consultant hired by the developer of the Blvd6200 project and filed with the city. The report, obtained by the Los Angeles Times under the California Public Records Act, said groundwater levels varied by as much as 30 feet below the property.
Geologists generally consider uneven groundwater levels in California a strong indicator of an earthquake fault.
The city Department of Building and Safety did not raise concerns about an earthquake fault when it reviewed and approved the report in 2007 without requiring any in-depth seismic study.
California state geologist John Parrish said the uneven groundwater cited in the report suggests that the project could sit on top of the Hollywood fault, which is capable of producing a devastating 7.0 earthquake.
"One of the most common indicators of the existence of a fault is the presence of an offset groundwater table," Parrish said. "It can be logically construed that the break in groundwater table elevations is because of the presence of a fault."
The Hollywood fault has been known for decades. But California geologists have not yet formally certified it as a fault zone, and the law is not in force in Hollywood until they do.

Joe Doubts Burress, Why I think Namath is Wrong
Posted by Erik Manassy on Aug 31, 2011 in Opinion | 0 comments
Ok, so Joe doesn't think Plax is going to play the full season and if he does get on the field build a chemistry with Mark Sanchez. Why say that Joe? I know you have opinions and you are basing it that he's been out of football for so long, and is getting injuries (it's preseason and the Jets are being cautious) but I think you are flat out wrong. You are basing that on the obvious of what you saw from the Giants game (0 catches), but what you are not taking into account is the mans' desire.
Remember the Super Bowl season, catch and trophy Plaxico obtained when he was injured. Remember he didn't practice all week hardly leading up to the big game. Yes I know, 3 years in jail vs. weeks of missed practice isn't the same but my point is that again, his desire to be great and he will overcome.
I hope he makes All-Pro, but the realistic side of me … The reality is, he'll be damn lucky if he makes it through the season," Namath said. Namath also is skeptical that Burress will be able to establish chemistry with third-year quarterback Mark Sanchez. "
When I see Burress, certainly in the past, and (former Jets wideout Braylon) Edwards, their route running and adjusting, I didn't like it — and I still don't," Namath said. "I'll be surprised if Burress and Sanchez click well and I'll be even more surprised if Burress, after being laid off for two years and change, is going to make it through the season." Read more:
Don't like his adjustments? JOE, what about this catch? Have you watched this RECENT video of him running routes blind folded? PRECISION. How can you doubt this freak of nature?
Ok, so you didin't like Edwards route running last year but look at the end results. 53 catches 904 yards, 7 TDs and caught the ball in critical moments AND you were critical of him dropping the ball and I watched EVERY snap last season and he didn't drop ONE BALL that I can remember.

STILLWATER — Ryan Robinson practically ran over the Texas A&M left tackle that tried to cut block him. Then he tracked down a scrambling Ryan Tannehill from behind and sent him to the turf deep in Aggie territory.
Oklahoma State football: Ryan Robinson is capable of many more highlight plays
"It was on the highlights on ESPN, so I was proud of myself," Robinson said with a smile as he recalled the moment last week.
That was a momentum play in a crucial game for Oklahoma State last season. And it was almost unexpected at the time, since Robinson was a first-year junior college transfer who was playing behind defensive end mainstay Jamie Blatnick.
But Cowboy defensive coordinator Bill Young said it could be a taste of things to come for Robinson in 2012.
"That's the kind of play he's capable of making a lot of," Young said.
Coaches and teammates have consistently pointed to Robinson as one of OSU's most improved players heading into the 2012 season.
He's now slated to start at defensive end with Blatnick's departure. Young especially praises Robinson's "punch," which allows him to separate himself from blockers with his hands and get into the backfield quickly.
Most of all, Robinson has adjusted to Division I football, a common occurrence for JC transfers during their second season.
"He knows exactly what he's doing," Young said. "That's so much of being a good football player is being in the right spot at the right time and knowing where your help is and all those issues. It allows you to play so much faster, and that's what he's doing."
Robinson, who originally signed with OSU in 2009, has always had good football pedigree. His father, George, played at Clemson, and three uncles played in the NFL.
But he admits that first season in Stillwater after transferring from Jones County Junior College in Mississippi was difficult.
He struggled to finish running drills during offseason training. And mastering the playbook was a challenge.

Acclaimed actor and Oscar-winning director Richard Attenborough, whose film career on both sides of the camera spanned 60 years, has died. He was 90.
The actor's son, Michael Attenborough told the BBC that his father died Sunday. He had been in poor health for some time.
British Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement calling Attenborough "one of the greats of cinema".
"His acting in Brighton Rock was brilliant, his directing of Gandhi was stunning,'' Cameron said.
With his abundant snow-white hair and beard, Attenborough was one of the most familiar faces on the British arts scene - universally known as ''Dickie.'' He appeared in many major Hollywood films, directed a series of movies and was known for his extensive work as a goodwill ambassador for Unicef and other humanitarian causes.
As a director, Attenborough made several successful movies, from Oh What a Lovely War in 1969 to Chaplin and Shadowlands in the 1990s. But his greatest success was Gandhi, a film that was 20 years in the planning and won eight Oscars, including best picture.
The generation that was introduced to Attenborough as an avuncular veteran actor in the 1990s - when he played the failed theme park developer in Jurassic Park and Kriss Kringle in a remake of Miracle on 34th Street - may not have appreciated his dramatic range.
A small, energetic man with a round face that remained boyish even in old age, he was perfectly cast at the start of his career as the young sailor or airman of British movies during and after World War II.
In his 1942 film debut as a terrified warship's crewman in In Which We Serve, a 19-year-old Attenborough made a small part into one of the most memorable roles in the movie, which won the Best Picture Oscar.
In 1947, Attenborough gave one of the best performances of his career as the teenage thug Pinkie in Brighton Rock, the film version of Graham Greene's novel. Attenborough's baby face and air of menace combined to make it one of his most memorable roles.
His youthful appearance nearly cost him the lead role in the original cast of The Mousetrap, because its author, Agatha Christie, didn't think he looked like a police detective. But he starred with his wife, actress Sheila Sim, when the hit play opened in November 1952 and stayed for 700 performances.
In 1959, Attenborough joined fellow actor Bryan Forbes in film production. The Angry Silence in 1960 was their successful debut, with Attenborough playing a strike-breaking factory worker. It was one of the first of the gritty, working-class films that heralded Britain's "new realism" of the 1960s.
Together, Forbes and Attenborough produced Whistle Down the Wind in 1961 and The L-Shaped Room in 1962. Their last film, 1964's Seance on a Wet Afternoon, won Attenborough Best Actor awards from the London Film Critics and British Film Academy.
In the meantime, he had appeared as a prisoner of war in 1963's The Great Escape - known for its classic ensemble cast, including Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson - and starred in Guns at Batasi, for which he won another British Film Academy award. In 1967, he won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in The Sand Pebbles.
In 1969, Attenborough turned to directing with Oh What a Lovely War, a lampoon of World War I, which won a Golden Globe award as best English-language foreign film. Three years later, he made Young Winston, the story of Winston Churchill's early life.
In between, in 1971, he turned in a chilling performance as 1950s mass murderer John Reginald Christie in 10 Rillington Place.
By the mid-1970s, Attenborough had become a director who only occasionally acted. It was said that he took acting jobs to help finance the movies he wanted to direct.
But his return to directing in the 1977 war movie A Bridge Too Far was an expensive disaster, despite its cast of international stars. The following year, the heavy-handed 1978 thriller Magic was a failure despite the talents of Anthony Hopkins.
A Chorus Line, Attenborough's 1985 film of the long-running stage musical, also took a critical beating. And, more recently, 1996's In Love and War, failed to win much critical support.
Attenborough was often thought to be at his best when trying to coax the finest work from actors. Gandhi made a star of its little-known leading man Ben Kingsley, and Denzel Washington won an Oscar nomination for 1987's Cry Freedom.
Debra Winger was nominated for an Oscar and Anthony Hopkins gave one of his best performances in Shadowlands, a small, subtle film that won Attenborough perhaps his greatest critical praise.
Attenborough, son of a university principal, was born August 29, 1923, into a family with strong liberal views and a tradition of volunteer work for humanitarian concerns.
One of his younger brothers is naturalist David Attenborough, whose nature documentaries have reached audiences around the world.
Richard Attenborough was a tireless defender of the British film industry. His artistic and humanitarian efforts were rewarded with several international prizes, including the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize in 1983.
He was knighted in 1976, and 17 years later received a life peerage, becoming Baron Attenborough of Richmond upon Thames.
His later years were marked by a horrendous personal tragedy when he lost his daughter Jane and granddaughter in the tsunami that hit Thailand the day after Christmas in 2004.
The heart-broken Attenborough said he was never able to celebrate the Christmas holidays after that.
He had been in frail health since a fall at his house in 2008, and spent his last years in a nursing home with his wife.
He is survived by his wife, their son and a daughter.
He was less than a week away from his 91st birthday when he died.
