THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: There He Goes Again, Version 4.0: Mann Claims His Hockey Stick was Affirmed by the NAS

In a letter to the editor published this month in 'Scientific' American, spinmeister Michael Mann fires off ad hominem attacks and yet again claims his "hockey stick" was affirmed by the National Academy of Sciences.
