Were Mistakes Made Or Did You Lie?

It happens almost every day.  You read a headline such as, "Truth Catches Up With Accused Storyteller," or "Top Historian Becomes Tangled in Fictions," or "Corporation Mogul Embarrassed By New Allegations," "Law School Dean Denies Plagiarism," and so forth.  It doesn't stop as our integrity seems to unravel.  But what gnaws at my viscera is that these are people who are supposed to lead the way, who are thought of as models of honesty and integrity.
