Remember that story from the Al "The Climate Whore" Gore "I Invented The Internet" collection?
It kind of went like this....
(Vanity Fair) Al Gore said he'd invented the Internet; announced that he had personally discovered Love Canal, the most infamous toxic-waste site in the country; and bragged that he and Tipper had been the sole inspiration for the golden couple in Erich Segal's best-selling novel Love Story (made into a hit movie with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal). "He also invented the dog", joked David Letterman, and "gave mankind fire".
Whether he ever said it or not is a matter for discussion, but anyhow, the man who wrote the book died Sunday it was announced today by his daughter.
’Love Story’ author Erich Segal dies at 72
