...supposedly anonymous authors of The Ear, Diana McLellan, 38, and Louise Lague, 28, both Star feature-story writers. Mc-Lellan, a perky Englishwoman who came to the U.S. 19 years ago, and Lague, a tall (5 ft. 8 in.), Rhode Island-born former reporter for the now defunct Washington Daily News, stay out of the limelight.
