Title: -30-
Product review: Unlike the pieces Jayson Blair "reported" for the New York Times, this laborious account of the aftermath of his infamous crash 'n' burn is way too boring to be anything but the real deal. (Okay, he does try to commit suicide in a coffee shop restroom--but, conveniently, he changes his mind and there are no witnesses.) And despite the book's deliberately inflammatory title, even Blair himself isn't able to work up much of a head of steam that affirmative action somehow played a role in his downfall. Regardless of his race (or his much-touted slave ancestry--what, were his they plagarists, too?), Blair's pathetic tale is not worth revisiting.
