BREAKING NEWS: THE COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW LIGHTS A MEMORY FIRESTORM Another brouhaha is erupting around an article published in the July/August 1997 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review by Mike Stanton, an investigative reporter with the Providence Journal-Bulletin. His article in support of recovered memories has, I'm told, drawn a barrage of outraged letters-to-the-editor - among them, from one of the nation's most distinguished memory scientists, Dr. Daniel Schacter, Chair of Psychology at Harvard; Fred Crews, professor emeritus of English at UC Berkeley and much-published critic of Freud and recovered memories in the NY Review of Books; Pamela Freyd, founder of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation; and myself. On the following pages, I publish Stanton's article, and my letter-to-the-editor in response. I'll add the Schacter, Crews, Freyd, and other letters as I get permission from them to do so. So watch for more on the Columbia Journalism Review debate. It will be an intense and, I think, thoughtful one. Stanton's Article | Moira Johnston's Response
