Crichton's latest silliness.

Michael Crowley's full response to his cameo in Next -- entitled Michael Crichton, Jurassic Prick -- is available at The New Republic:

Who was this Mick Crowley?  A Google search turned up an Irish Workers Party politician in Knocknaheeny, Ireland. But Crowley's tireless advocacy for County Cork's disabled seemed to make him an unlikely target of Crichton's ire. And that's when it dawned on me: I happen to be a Washington political journalist. And, yes, I did attend Yale University. And, come to think of it, I had recently written a critical 3,700-word cover story about Crichton.
