My beloved, feisty friend Paul Brodeur wrote an incisive, thought-provoking article in the Huffington Post. The article concerned the failure of the fact-checking department at The New Yorker to properly attribute a quote from the late Nobel Prize-winning chemist F. Sherwood Rowland.

Read the article here. Even the greats screw up. Looks like The New Yorker ought to do the gracious thing and acknowledge their error–and properly attribute Paul.
