Despite Hellman's efforts, her reputation began to ravel in her lifetime, after she sued Mary McCarthy for calling her a liar on TV. Though the suit died with the antagonists, it gave publicity to the fabrications in Pentimento and Scoundrel Time. From the former comes the story Julia, which casts Hellman as a heroic anti-Nazi in World War II. Jane Fonda played Lillian in the movie (Vanessa Redgrave was Julia).

Without so much as a stumble, Alexander delivered the smoothest speech since Clinton's State of the Union. By targeting...
...tell the American people the truth about his flat tax. Instead, he has tried to fool the American people into believing that they can get something for nothing: higher economic growth without greater economic inequality. Hopefully, after four years of President Clinton, the American people will not place another liar in the White House...
