- According to Paul Craig Roberts, "The Crimes of Wall Street", _Reason_,
- December 1992, pages 43-45:
-
- "But the myth of Milken's criminality continues to be perpetuated by
- a media too irresponsible to be informed. Recently, _People_
- magazine listed Milken as a celebrity who was imprisoned for
- insider trading. His attorney Alan Dershowitz wrote to _People_ to
- correct the mistake. He reports that he received a reply from the
- magazine's lawyer that he saw no reason to correct the mistake,
- because the magazine was not a publication of record and its
- readers did not expect precision or accuracy. Moreover, since
- Milken had originally been charged with insider trading, it was all
- right for _People_ to list that as his offense."

- and
-
- "[Michael] Thomas, a writer for the _New York Observer_, wanted
- Milken sentenced to Leavenworth, where 'the prospect of having
- one's sphincter enlarged to the circumference of the Holland Tunnel
- by the rigors of the prison social calendar often works wonders
- when it comes to refreshing memories clouded by the Fifth
- Amendment.' Of course, Milken never invoked the Fifth Amendment."
