New York Times reporter and globe-trotting book researcher Sharon Waxman gives her side in response to some blog criticism of a post about ex-Getty curator Marion True. Waxman blogs, in part:

Perhaps to Green it is heresy to consider the notion that True is not one bad apple in an otherwise transparent world of antiquities buyers and sellers. But my reporting throughout the world of antiquities strongly suggests otherwise. And as the state prosecutor in Rome made clear in his interview with me, Marion True is being tried to bring the Getty to heel. As of this week, the Getty has been brought to heel; True’s public agonies, as I mentioned earlier based on that interview, can be expected to draw to a close.

* And now: Green responds to her.
