Doesn't anyone think the story sounds a little amazing, and in the literal sense of the word? That Greenfield basically not only came in contact with almost all the significant Holocaust actors in the popular American imagination, but that they also provided pivotal moments in his career and personal development? Also, the bit about having his sons remove two portraits from the room before the journalist showed up smacked of a public relations set-piece. The profile reads like a very masterful demonstration of PR kung-fu from Mr Greenfield.
