...what if we've actually been tracking the wrong Englishman? What if the real Shakespeare had led another life, one tingling with clear parallels to his sonnets and plays? (See chart.) What if he were really a nobleman, an earl who could trace his roots to a time before William the Conqueror? And what if, unlike the man from Stratford-upon-Avon, we had an undeniable record of his education--a degree from Oxford University and a solid grounding in the law that would explain the plenitude of Tudor legalese in the plays? Again, unlike the Stratford man, this nobleman...

Stick around politics long enough and odds are you'll let something slip out that offends someone. Jesse Jackson took a lot of heat for calling New York "Hymietown," and former agriculture secretary Earl Butz's notorious remark correlating black people's ambitions with loose shoes, among other things, deservedly cost him his job. But what if the statement in question was offensive only to people who misunderstood its meaning? Just ask David Howard, a former aide to Washington, D.C., mayor Anthony Williams, who had to resign for using a word that was mistakenly considered to be racist...
