I'm not going to argue with you about Don Yaeger, whose latest work, "Under
the Golden Dome," was not the finest piece of journalism I've ever read (nor
is the subject, Lou Holtz, beyond reproach; but this is a hockey list).
 
But my friend, Rick Telander, wrote "The Hundred Yard Lie," and while I wish
it had footnotes, it was a fine and sincere piece of work.
 
Rick Telander should not be confused with Don Yaeger.
