...that their two children will not be deprived of both parents at one time. Suskind, who helped with the research on the bogus manuscript, got six months in a state court. The trio has returned none of the money paid to them by McGraw-Hill, and are obligated to repay the $766,000, which includes expenses, that the company says is owed them. In addition, each of the Irvings was fined $10,000. Presumably Irving still intends to pay for his folly by writing a book about how the threesome did their nonbook.

The U.S. could do so by borrowing foreign currencies from the IMF and selling them to London in return for some of the dollars that no one wants...
...this incessant fuzzy melange of little segments of things, and I think it must breed in you a different set of expectations, of notions of what people should be doing. I see nothing wrong with trying to sit in a room and turn out stuff that will repay re-reading. It makes something kind of solid, or at least in its own terms hard to improve. I'm not sure I do it but that's the effort...
