In the wake of the revelation that he made up quotes in his bestseller "Imagine," Jonah Lehrer's books are being pulled from bookstores. His columns at the Wall Street Journal are being combed over for made up quotes. He has resigned from the New Yorker. We'll be talking about it at 11 today.
You can still see Lehrer telling a Bob Dylan anecdote here to Google employees. Who knows if the anecdote is true. Sounds pretty true.
