Granddaddy – the article has to focus on Reeve and STB’s personal life because it was inexorably intertwined with this unproffesional life. And frankly, it also goes to show that he had a propensity to be a scumbag. When the story was breaking I spent a bit of time skulking arund STB’s myspace page and those of his friends – and this article is consistent with what I found there (and explains a few things as well). It is unfortunate that the Priscilla parts of this article could not be further corroborated, but Miniter frankly discloses the lack of coroboration – he doesn’t hide behind multiple fictional witnessess like STB and TNR. Hopefully others will read this piece and follow-up further.
