The Creation of Dr. B.: A Biography of Bruno Bettelheim. Salon.com, January 21, 1997
"Assuming [biographer Richard] Pollak has got it right — and there is more documentation here than most of us would need — Bettelheim joins the ranks of notorious dissemblers like the billionaire art collector, Kremlinologist and presidential shoulder-rubber Armand Hammer, who, we recently learned, fabricated a bogus account of his own life. But the most apt comparison is really with Jerzy Kosinski, the lionized author of the "Painted Bird," whose novelized wartime humiliations were treated as biographical fact until little holes in his story began to emerge. An assimilationist Jew who parlayed his suffering into a comfortable, polo-playing literary lifestyle, Kosinski ended up killing himself in a bathtub. Bettelheim, who lied about his own past, lived to a ripe old age before something — guilt? — finally prompted him to kill himself in 1990, not yet revealed as the charlatan he was." [Bettelheim, Hammer, and Kosinski were all Jewish]

Lying. A Life Story. Los Angeles Times [posted at a web site page devoted to Kosinski], May 12, 1996
"[Writer Jerzy] Kosinski [born Jerzy Lewintopf] came to the U.S. in 1957, from his native Poland. Here, as he had there, he gradually became known for a spectrum of sociopathic behavior ranging from mere megalomania to brutal sexual coercion, fraud and plagiarism. Yet he was so convincing that his powerful supporters (including Yale University and the New York Times) believed his side of these accounts for 25 years before evidence was finally published in the Village Voice showing the depth of his cons and dishonesty. According to [biographer Jame Park] Sloan, Kosinski couldn't help being a pathological liar and a control freak."

The 'Casanova of Causes.' The Nation. April 10, 2000
"If we are to believe David Cesarani's weird book, [Simone de] Beauvoir was luckier than many of [Jewish writer Arthur Koestler's] bedmates. What might just as easily have happened is Koestler's inviting himself into her flat, bullying her into batching up an omelet, helping her to towel the plates, grabbing her by her hair or throat, pulling her down to the linoleum, banging her head a couple of times and then raping her, after which explaining: 'I thought you had a bit of a yen for me.' This is what he did to Jill Craigie, the filmmaker wife of Labor MP Michael Foot. (Craigie died late last year, but not before the details of her interview with Cesarani made headlines in the British tabloids.) And probably what he did to a fair number of other young women in his long career of sexual conquest ... More than a user, Koestler was an abuser--of women, alcohol, automobiles and ideas. This abusiveness--and the evidence is overwhelming that he was an 'intemperate, obsessive, egomaniacal, bullying, petty, selfish, arrogant, lecherous, duplicitous and self-deluding' 'serial rapist' addicted late in life to 'happy pills' (Dexedrine)--is one of two main accusations in a relentless bill of indictment. The other is 'the negativity of his Jewishness,' by which [Jewish biographer David] Cesarani, a professor of modern Jewish history at Southampton University, means more than ambivalence but a denial verging on self-hatred."

Arlington Waiver Questioned. The Record [New Jersey], December 5, 1997
"Republican investigators are questioning the account of the late Ambassador M. Larry Lawrence that he was a merchant mariner wounded during World War II, a record that helped win a waiver for him to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. The disclosure yesterday that investigators have turned up no records placing Lawrence on the torpedoed SS Horace Bushnell -- or even in the merchant marine -- rekindled a controversy over whether waivers were handed out by the Clinton administration as political favors to Democratic donors ... Lawrence, who was appointed ambassador to Switzerland in 1993 and died in 1996, contended he was tossed overboard and received a severe head injury during the bombing of a U.S. vessel in 1945. He was never in the military, but the White House and the Pentagon said he deserved burial in Arlington because of his merchant marine service and his work as ambassador. Lawrence was one of the largest contributors to the Democrats among President Clinton’s 1993 appointees ... [Lawrence claimed that he] 'was thrown overboard into frigid Arctic waters and suffered serious head injuries, which required many months of convalescence.' That information apparently came from Lawrence himself ... At the time, 'there was no reason to believe that it wasn’t true.'” [Lawrence was Jewish]

JNF Appoints Investigator in Tree-Planting Scandal. Jerusalem Post, July 5, 2000
"Jewish National Fund officials announced yesterday that retired Tel Aviv District Court Judge Arye Segelson will head the organization's investigation into allegations of misconduct in JNF's 'Plant a Tree With Your Own Hands' program for tourists. The announcement is the latest in a series of JNF efforts to address an article last week in Ma'ariv claiming that saplings planted by tourists at a JNF site near Hadassah-University Hospital, Ein Kerem, had been uprooted to allow other tourists to plant in the same spot the next day."

Life Is Not Rehearsal, by John S. Spong, Bishop of Newark.
Diocese of Newark [this article is "cached" at google.com]
"His name is David Brudnoy. In our part of the United States that name is not readily identified. If you live in Boston or New England, however, David Brudnoy is a household word. He is a regional radio and television personality. His late night radio talk show on Boston's 50,000 watt WBZ is said to reach into thirty-eight states. In his world David Brudnoy is known as 'an intellectual Rush Limbaugh.' He is an ultra conservative right-wing political critic. He refers to the President of the United States as 'Bubba.' He is a close friend of the outspoken and iconoclastic John Silber, the conservative president of Boston University. Brudnoy got his start as a political commentator for William Buckley's National Review. The Conservative Party of Massachusetts sought him as its nominee for the Senate ... David Brudnoy is a unique human being. He is Jewish, but without religious convictions ... What did surprise me was a story I read in The New York Times in January of 1995, which announced that conservative, right-wing talk show host David Brudnoy was a homosexual and was dying with AIDS. Suddenly all of the stereotypes built up over the years in my mind began to collapse. I had never before met a right-wing homosexual ... In David Brudnoy I had been confronting a disciple of the same William Buckley who, on his program, 'Firing Line,' consistently refers to gay people as 'Sodomites.' Now it was publicly revealed that one of Buckley's closest asscociates was himself a gay man. More than that, Brudnoy was clearly an active gay."

Title: Romanoff,
Done Deal. [The Archives], [Announcements of movie projects], August 1999
"The true story of a Jewish immigrant who gained notoriety in the 1930s when he posed as Michael Romanoff, the nephew of the late Russian czar. He became the toast of New York City, but when his ruse was exposed, he moved to Hollywood where no one cared about his fabricated past. In the late '30s, he opened the famed restaurant Romanoff's in Beverly Hills and led a life hobnobbing with the rich and famous."

Israel Masada Now U.N. Heritage Site,
Newsday, October 31, 2002
"Hundreds of Israelis climbed this ancient hilltop fortress Thursday, where Jewish rebels chose suicide over capture by Roman troops, to celebrate its addition to a U.N. list of cultural treasures. The Judean mountain promitory overlooking the Dead Sea is where where a last group of Jewish holdouts sought refuge from Roman legions who had already destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Israeli soldiers now come here at the start of their military training to swear an oath to protect the country. Boys celebrate coming-of-age rituals here. Many come to pray. Masada and the ancient Mediterranean port city of Acre in northern Israel were included in the World Heritage list of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization last year -- the first two Israeli sites to make it onto the UNESCO list. A plaque commemorating the Masada site was unveiled Thursday as dancers and musicians performed for diplomats, Cabinet ministers and nearby residents. The listing puts it on a par with the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt ... Israelis have vowed not to let Masada fall again. If challenged, Israel will not commit suicide but will fight to the death, said Avia Oann, 55, standing among the pillars. 'We must learn from it, not to make the same mistake,' she said." [The Masada story of Jewish heroism is not true. It is fabrication]

FROM: Wolff, Geoffrey. The Duke of Deception. My Memories of My Father. Elisabeth Sifton Books; Penguin Books, Viking/Penguin 1986 [paperback; first published by Random House in 1979]
Geoffrey Wolff is the former book critic of the Washington Post [p. 10]
Back Cover: "The Duke of Deception is the unforgettable story of a man whose life was so full of deceit that his love for his son was his only truth. 'Duke' Wolff dragged his family from coast to coast, from luxurious homes to furnished rooms, always looking for the next big break -- and always just ahead of his creditors. No ordinary con man, he used an imaginative set of credentials to pass himself off as a Yaleman and an aeronautical engineer. But his past, his debts, and his flamboyant ways with other people's money finally caught up with him."
[p. 9] "My father was a Jew. This did not seem to him a good idea, and so it was his notion to disassemble his history, begin at zero, and re-create himself. His sustaining line of work til shortly before he died was as a confidence man ... There were some awful consequences, for other people as well as for him. He was lavish with money, with others' money. He preferred to stiff institutions: jewelers, car dealers, banks, fancy hotels ... I wish he hadn't selected from among the world's possibel disguises the costume and credentials of a yacht club commodore ... But it is true, of course, that a confidence man who cannot inspire confidence in his marks is nothing at all, so perhaps his tuneup of his bloodline, educational vita, and war record was merely the price of doing business in a culture preoccupied with appearances ...But for all his pre-occupation with make-believe, he never tried seriously to write it. A confidence man learns early in his career tht to commit himself to paper is to court trouble. The successful bunco artist does his game, and disappears himself."

Country in Crisis Plus: War,the Sequel; French? Toast!,
Dallas Observer, March 27, 2003
"Local radio stations have stopped playing the pro-war, pro-drinking hit 'Getting Bombed in Nashville' after the singer, country-music sensation and native Dallasite Gage Hawkins, made anti-war comments to reporters following his show at the Gypsy Tea Room on Saturday. Hawkins, like Toby Keith ('The Angry American'), had become a popular C&W artist and frequent Bill O'Reilly guest because of his patriotic whoop-n-holler tune, which includes pro-America lines such as 'The whiskey ain't workin' anymore/But our g-damn JDAMs are fer shore.' But in shocking comments given to reporters after his Saturday performance, the obviously intoxicated Hawkins revealed that his true colors are more yellow than his ass-kicking image suggests. 'Why are we bombing those poor Arab fucks?' Hawkins slurred during a live interview on KPLX 99.5 'The Wolf.' 'God, it makes me sick to my stomach to sing that flag-waving shit. But, man, I've got to. The sheep are eating it up. I'm rolling in cash.' Hawkins then belched loudly and asked, 'Who are you? Is that a microphone?' Local reaction was swift and unmerciful. The Wolf stopped playing Hawkins' song and canceled its promotional Gage Hawkins happy hour at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth ... By then, however, the damage had been done, and on Monday, it got worse. After doing some checking into his background, it was discovered that Hawkins (real name Gabe Hirschfeld) was born in Canada after his parents left the country to avoid the Vietnam draft. The Hirschfelds moved to Dallas in 1985, and Gabe became Gage Hawkins two years ago when he decided to pursue a career as a country musician, leaving behind a lucrative career as an anti-gun lobbyist. Ted Stecker, program director for KSCS 96.3, says he was in 'shock and awe' by this latest revelation. 'I mean, I've heard the name before. We all have. But whenever someone mentioned 'Gabe Hirschfeld,' Gage would always say that was his business manager.'"

A History of Lying Recounted as Fiction,
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK, New York Times, May 7, 2003
"Stephen Glass, who was fired by The New Republic five years ago for fabricating details in 27 articles, has written a book telling his side of the story in fictional form. His publisher, Simon & Schuster, has kept the project a closely guarded secret. The company sold the book to stores without revealing its title or its author. Instead Simon & Schuster sent a letter to bookstores describing the novel as 'a rollicking, riveting tour de force that does for the media business what `Primary Colors' did for politics,' a reference to the best-selling roman à clef about President Bill Clinton whose author later was revealed to be Joe Klein. Mr. Glass's book, called 'The Fabulist,' bears his own name on the cover as the author ... Mr. Glass, then 25, was a creative and prolific fraud. His many extraordinary inventions for The New Republic included articles about a Church of George Herbert Walker Bush, a bond-trading firm with a shrine to Alan Greenspan, and a conservative political conference rife with marijuana, beer and sex. ... Daniel Goldin, a buyer at the Harry W. Schwartz Booksellers, a chain in Milwaukee, said he ordered four copies of the book for each store. He said that learning the identity of the author did not much affect his view of the book, since few people outside the media business remember Mr. Glass."
