Whatever you do, do not flatter Rick Stengel,

Time's managing editor. Why? Because he

wrote the book on it --- You're Too Kind:

A Brief History of Flattery.

Priscilla Painton, a Deputy Managing Editor at Time,

is responsible for giving the imprimatur to Joe Klein's

falsifications. Her boss is Richard Stengel, whose

specialty is the 'inculpable noncorrection'.

Time's Rick Stengel is so full of himself that if he were any

fuller, he would turn inside out and become an empty suit.
