Moore a Yarn-Spinner Than a Writer

Michael Moore was kicked out of the seminary after his freshman year of high school. Not for any indiscretion; he was a fine student, apparently. His class dean told him not to bother returning for sophomore year “because you upset the other boys by asking too many questions,” the filmmaker recalls in his new book, Here Comes Trouble: Stories From My Life. “Why’s that? What’s that for? Who said? After a while, Mr. Moore, it gets tiring.”
