Well, not really. Actually, it's been just 27 games, going back to the mid-80s. And, as long as it may seem to members of the Walt Frazier fan club, that's not as long as most other sport curses. Just ask any Cubs...
While The Murderers Among Us had a clear thesis, coolly pursued, Wiesenthal's new memoir rambles through whole chapters on such marginal topics as whether Hitler had syphilis. And like some other memoirists in their 80s, Wiesenthal has lots of scores that he wants to settle.
