These three words represented the abject, Hail-Mary end of a marvelous series of lies that Glass had told Lane, and his many readers, about sundry follies that had not in fact gone on in the world of politics, business, and technology.
Along with a forthcoming novel called The Fabulist, Glass is the author of what 60 Minutes called "one of the greatest journalistic frauds in history." To CBS, this means he made up details, facts, and quotations in "dozens of" colorful stories published in various magazines over a period of two years.
At last, Lane, growing suspicious after Forbes.com reported a vain effort to pursue a Glass doozy about a 15-year-old hacker-extortionist, asked his writer to take him to the site of the hacker convention.

 Advice for Stephen Glass - Readers weigh in with their redemption suggestions. By Jack Shafer
After New Republic Editor Charles Lane exposed him as a serial fabricator in 1998, Stephen Glass spent five years in a sort of public seclusion: He shunned inquiries from the press and actively avoided his former friends and colleagues as he completed his law degree at Georgetown.
Charles Lane, the New Republic editor who busted Glass, believes his former employee should account for every journalistic fraud he committed.
