What really happened when . . .

. . . Jeremy Piven left Speed-the-Plow early. (New York Times, 10/9.) Piven was painted in newspapers and on TV as either a liar or a nut. But the arbitrator's decision--44 short pages that make interesting reading--in his favor raises considerable doubt about that characterization.

Looks like another case of the major media being spun by a party--in this case, the play's producer--with a vested interest.
