Nothing could be further from the truth.

...works - and that it was an invasion of privacy and untrue, Miller says. Having now read the story, he says he finds it to be fair. Beyond that, he does not know what to think. He hopes clarity will come. "Beneath everything - and above everything - there is always the truth," he says in a resigned and sad voice. "There is something such as the truth, and it will, thank...
