...unclear what political ends the Obama administration is hoping to achieve with this confrontational approach to Fox. This is a news channel that thrives on controversy, and its anchors glut on polemics. Its audience seems captive to the lies of Glenn Beck and co., but they appear unlikely to trust the words of any politician, even the most charismatic one.

Says Stanley Wells, chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the largest Shakespeare preservation group in Britain, "I'm not yet sure we've reached the stage yet that we can be sure of authorship without attacking it from many different angles," such as investigating metrics, classical allusions and signature abbreviations.
