...Kinsley has been a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and has written for the Washington Monthly, Harper's and FORTUNE. No one is safe from his bite. After dedicating his 1987 collection of writings, Curse of the Giant Muffins (Summit Books; $17.95), to his parents, Kinsley added, "Any factual errors or lapses of judgment are strictly their fault...
Absurd, because the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is far too complex to be solved over a cup of coffee. To name just a few of the factual difficulties with Moses's neat litle four-point plan...

Typical of the screaming wounded: Professor Michael Porter, who claims Mark never talked with him before writing a tale of alleged pirating of student concepts in a business-strategy plan for the National Football League. There is talk of libel suits against author and publisher...
