Comments on: Night and Day http://www.flatironcomm.com/theflack/2006/01/19/night-and-day/ This weblog attempts to shine a brighter light on the subtle role public relations plays in politics, culture, media, business and sports. Through greater transparency, the author hopes to make the profession better understood and perhaps more widely appreciated.

The guest was a former editor of The New Yorker or The Atlantic Monthly (it may have been William Whitworth, but don't hold me to that). He said he had a library at home. On one side he put his non-fiction books, on the other side fiction. One day he walked in and had an epiphany (albeit, a tongue-in-cheek one). He realized that all the non-fiction books were actually fiction, and all the fiction books were actually non-fiction. The problem with Frey and his ilk is that their books, like the ones in the library at Hogwarts, fly back and forth, ricocheting every which way. It's dangerous. You could get banged in the head walking down the aisle. I remember listening to Fresh Air five or so years ago.
