The Ivy League Imposter
I listened to an interesting interview on WNYC today. David Samuels went on-air to promote his new book The Runner: A True Account of the Amazing Lies and Fantastical Adventures of the Ivy League Impostor James Hogue.
Hogue managed to enrol in Princeton University using a fake alias. The Wikipedia entry on him is an interesting read on its own.
