America's shortcut culture
Chicago Tribune
Not even the Olympics are a sufficient distraction from the scandal of Jonah Lehrer. He's the 31-year-old who rose to prominence writing such best-selling books as "Proust Was a Neuroscientist" and "How We Decide," and delivering lucrative corporate lectures to go along with them. On Monday Lehrer admitted to fabrications and "improper combinations" of quotes in his latest book, "Imagine: How Creativity Works" — specifically, material he'd attributed to Bob Dylan but in fact simply invented. As he announced his ...
