It turns out that numerous other articles by the same reporter where
partly or wholly fictional --- these included a widely recirculated
piece on sex, drugs and rock and roll at a young conservatives
meeting, and at least some of the anecdotes about Wall Street
veneration for Allen Greenspan (e.g., the investment banker who
supposedly prayed to a devotional icon of the Chairman) in an article
which, I believe, got FoRKed. Other pieces are under investigation.
