Third time's a charm?
The Observer reports that a team of Hollywood insiders is currently working on a screen adaptation of Mary Mapes's 2005 book Truth And Duty. Mapes was the producer of the the 60 Minutes II story by Dan Rather about President George W. Bush's time in the Texas Air National Guard, which ran on CBS in September 2004 and eventually led to her ouster from the network. I thought I was the only person in the country who read Truth and Duty. I reviewed her incredibly bad book for the Standard in "Second time's a charm?" Bad books frequently do make good movies, but I doubt that Mapes's book would prove the rule. Courtesy of Power Line
