...point in the mid-'70s I went with some friends to see "Mean Streets." After the shock of "Taxi Driver" - which I saw maybe 20 times, leading to my move to NYC - I was looking for anything else by this guy Scorsese.

(The typewriters had self-correcting tape, for example, which wasn't available until the 1970s.) Confronted on camera by ABC anchor Peter Jennings with evidence of the fraud, Cusack stammered that the papers might have been...
