PellicanoIn this week's New Yorker, Ken Auletta focuses on the Hollywood presence and Pellicano-tainting of powerhouse lawyer Bertram Fields. Auletta congratulates himself on getting "the most feared lawyer in Hollywood" to lunch at Spago rather than be driven home to Malibu for his usual twenty-minute siesta. In the end, Fields says he's angry at the private eye but not terminally: "I can't be too hard on Anthony Pellicano. This is a guy who did good work for us." I'll leave it to the Pellicanophiles to parse the piece, which is not online. (Nikki Finke has extended excerpts.)
