random thought of the moment:
If a government resorts to inflation, that is, creates money in order to cover its budget deficits or expands credit in order to stimulate business, then no power on earth, no gimmick, device, trick or even indexation can prevent its economic consequences.

So much for accountability. Frey won't admit he lied. Oprah won't admit she was duped, nor that Frey is ultimately responsible, not the publishers (though they are somehwat culpable as well). Larry King won't admit he's a has-been and a suck-up.

The publisher is offering a refund for the book, which sounds like taking responsibility. They may be reluctant to say anything official until more or known, or for fear that someone will sue them.

"He represented to us that his version of events was true to his recollections," Doubleday said.
