Barbara's Comments "Is Lake News another Clinton/Lewinsky rehash? Not by a long shot. Privacy has been a growing concern of mine. I've been appalled by how much personal information is available to complete strangers. One only has to combine that fact with the increasingly abusive power of the press, to start imagining the possibilities.   "That's what I did in dreaming up Lake News. I imagined a woman being falsely accused of involvement in an illicit sexual affair. I imagined what might happen to her life, one domino after another falling. I added layers of family frustration to her situation, and a man who represents everything she has come to distrust. I imagined the various ways in which she might rectify the situation. "Since I wrote Lake News, any number of politicians and religious leaders have been outed for having extramarital affairs. Sadly, the topic remains current."
