...those who missed it, Newsweek political columnist Klein was outed last week as being the anonymous author of Primary Colors. No big deal except that he had explicitly and vehemently denied his authorship not just to the public but to his journalistic colleagues, ho ended up speculating, in print, about alternate primary suspects...
