...difficult to communicate the damage done to Dr. Yau’s reputation by this article,” the lawyer concluded, adding that Yau sent the letter with “the very sincere hope that they will act quickly and thoughtfully to withdraw, retract, and correct the misstatements made about him and the attacks against him in this article and to help assist with repairing his reputation.”The New Yorker has so far not apologized, releasing a statement saying that they “stand by the piece and the journalists.” According...
