...entrails, basically true. I mean, I don’t remember things very well from the day before yesterday, and these are Deo’s 12-year-old memories. This was one of the reasons I wrote the book as I did, and turned to the first person after the reader has heard the bulk of the story. The more remarkable story is what happened in New York, and that I did verify.The experience of being with Deo, watching him in the throes of memory, especially in Burundi, was spooky. It was not so much difficult...

In that case, security guard Richard Jewell was dubbed a "person of interest," sparking a frenzy of speculation despite scant evidence of his involvement in the bombing. Once exonerated, Jewell pursued a series of successful libel suits against media organizations whom he accused of ruining his reputation by using the term...
