That Drudge is a disgrace: Group Sues Writer for Sham Article Tuesday, June 30, 1998; 2:33 p.m. EDT LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The national police anti-drug group D.A.R.E. is suing a former staff writer at The New Republic who admitted making up material in his articles, including at least one about D.A.R.E. In a $10 million libel suit filed Monday in Los Angeles federal court, the group Drug Abuse Resistance Education charges that Stephen Glass took ''free license to invent facts, people and scenarios, falsely describing them in detail'' in two articles he wrote about D.A.R.E. ''D.A.R.E. was one victim of many,'' the suit said, according to today's Los Angeles Times. ''There is absolutely no truth to Glass' statements regarding D.A.R.E. and Glass has admitted as such.'' Editors at The New Republic apologized earlier this month to readers after finding that Glass, 25, fabricated all or part of 27 of the 41 articles he wrote for the publication. It wasn't clear how much of the D.A.R.E. stories were made up. One, in The New Republic, accused D.A.R.E. of covering up the program's problems and intimidating people into not exposing them. The New Republic said some D.A.R.E. critics were pressured to soften their opinions, as Glass had written, but it acknowledged that Glass made up at least four people, the suit said. The other D.A.R.E. piece by Glass was a free-lance assignment for Rolling Stone. The lawsuit does not name The New Republic or Rolling Stone as defendants. Glass was fired last month after confessing he made up a story about computer hackers. The confession prompted a monthlong investigation by The New Republic. Glass cooperated with the investigation and apologized in letters to Charles Lane, the magazine's editor, and Martin Peretz, the owner and editor in chief. search.washingtonpost.com

Actually, I understand there is a large Vietnamese community in Arkansas and there certainly are Asian women in DC. Ergo, your supposition as to Slick's lack of "Asian affairs" is probably shaky. JLA
