...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?

...Aspartame leads to "methanol toxicity." Not even close. Trace amounts of methanol exist naturally in many fruits and vegetables, and a tiny amount is released whenever the body digests aspartame.

It encrypts your mail, chunks it up and sends it out through a chain of "remailers"--computers that forward mail to other computers, making it impossible to intercept and trace back.

...thorough grounding in genetics and statistics and advanced microbiology, rest assured that I attended an Ivy League college myself. That was in the days, I'll admit, when any number of people were admitted to such institutions without having shown any evidence of carrying smart-kid genes even in trace elements. Somehow, most of these dimmer bulbs managed to graduate--every class needs a lower third in order to have an upper two-thirds--and somehow most of them are now millionaires on Wall Street...
