Name: Maurice Foxx
From: Boston
The lie: As head of the Massachusetts State Commission on Indian Affairs, Foxx?s official biography was published on that agency?s Web site, stating that he had served ?in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.?
The reality: Manpower officials who searched the Corps? personnel records confirmed that there has never been a Maurice Foxx in the ranks.
The result: Foxx?s official biography on the state?s Web site has been changed; all references to the Marine Corps and Vietnam have been deleted. Foxx could not be reached by Marine Corps Times, but told the Cape Cod (Mass.) Times in a telephone interview that he had never read his official biography online, was unaware that it mistakenly portrayed him as a former Marine and ordered that it be fixed as soon as he found out.
