A Measure Of Mapes

Former CBS News producer Mary Mapes, a central figure in "Memogate," is just about out with a new book that gives her take on the story, its production and the independent panel that looked into it. The upcoming issue of Vanity Fair (tip of the hat to Romenesko) has some excerpts for those interested.

We'll wait to read the entire book (in bookstores next week) before commenting on it, but if you missed my take on the National Guard story, you can read it here.
