...sole duty should be to "the truth" and "facts, facts, facts," as Starr has sanctimoniously and, I think, accurately reminded us, what is he doing chatting with the woman who once abetted a similar Hail Mary p.r. effort by Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley? In going on ABC less than a week after visiting the House Judiciary Committee and appealing directly to the American people on matters both of substance ("There is no excuse for perjury. Never, never, never") and style (Starr confessed to having seen "any number of" R-rated movies), the special prosecutor was practicing the sort...
...crisis. Morel's constant coverage of the Congo in pamphlets, newspapers, mass meetings, novels and even church hymns amounted to a public relations campaign on an immense scale. And although Morel was successful, Leopold was his own best popularizer.

Keats was not doing the same as Newton. Certainly, in the abstract sense, they both sought truth and understanding. But while a nexus between science and literature can be found in these common goals, it cannot be found in a common approach. Keats found as much physics in nature as Newton found poetry in falling apples...
