Once you get past the Walter Scott job--what exactly is supposed to be the point of that whole section?--the writer admits to not knowing very much about the Newsweek job. So he offers one anecdote, a pretty meaningless one, and that's his whole "shocking revelations!" about the author of this book?
Thin doesn't begin to describe it. I mean, THAT'S it?
Yes, that's why I called it thin gruel.
The only interesting tidbit is that Ed Klein is Walter Scott, and that's not anywhere near as earth-shaking as Schanberg would like it to be.
It's a little bit interesting, but that's about it.
