John Stossel: Give me a break: State of Fear

John Stossel looks at Michael Crichton, and Crichton's newest book, State of Fear:

Michael Crichton's scary movies, like "Jurassic Park," have made billions. He has sold 100 million copies of his scary books. And now he's telling us: Don't be scared.

He almost didn't write his latest book, "State of Fear." "I'm 62 years old," he told me. "I've had a good life. I'm happy. I'm enjoying myself. I don't need any of the flak that would come from doing a book like this."...

Stossel's book, Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media..., is now available in trade paperback, ISBN 0060529156, list price $14.95.
