I find the CBS News response unfortunate. There's also the simple question on lying to maintain the identity: what's so bad about lying? Why he revealed himself is somewhat of lesson also. -Allen

'Primary Colors' Author Steps Forward
NEW YORK (Reuter) - One of the best kept secrets in political, journalistic and publishing circles was revealed Wednesday when Newsweek journalist Joe Klein admitted he was ''Anonymous'', the mysterious author of a novel based on President Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.
If they really wanted to know who did it, why didn't they do a word analysis of the book, and compare it to known writers? Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com

Someone did in fact. There was a long article in _New York magazine a few months ago, whose author did computer analysis of Klein's writings and the novel and showed them to match. You may be able to find it in a library. Don't feel sorry for Klein - he's a fucking statist who opposes freedom of speech. If CBS fires the creep for lying, it'll serve him just right. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
