| And Lucille Ball talked about "Wildcat' when she was the mystery guest on "What's My Line in January 1961. Perhaps she should have rested on Sunday instead. But the article is not necessarily fact based. |

| The article refers to the novel - it's not an excerpt. It's reasonable to expect it to be factual, if not comprehensive. | |

| "But the article is not necessarily fact based." So "The New York Times" is publishing less than "fact-based" articles? |

| Why, yes, "The NY Times" notoriously published less than "fact-based" articles in recent memory and many would argue they continue to do so. But here is the gist of my argument: "The New York Times determined that several stories she (Judith Miller) wrote about Iraq were inaccurate, and she was forced to resign from the paper in 2005.[2] According to commentator Ken Silverstein, Miller's Iraq reporting "effectively ended her career as a respectable journalist".[6]" Maybe somebody could write a musical about that. |

| Of course, she didn't end her career. Once the Times became aware that her reporting was fraudulent, they fired her, but a few years later, Fox News was very happy to hire her despite her proven record of false reporting. Perhaps fodder for the sequel to "Ink". |

| They also intentionally publish fiction from time to time, which is more to the point. The Magazine just published an issue of fiction last month. But this article isn't that. | |

| "He's not writing a book of facts. He's writing a novel that imagines a relationship between one of his relatives and Lucy." Shame on me for not realizing - after reading Strauss's full-page article plugging his forthcoming book "The Queen of Tuesday: A Lucille Ball Story" - that said book is a work of imagination. Especially since everyone knows that "I Love Lucy," "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" aired on Monday. |
