Style in the substance

According to one of the Belle's, The Times has employed Don Foster to tell everyone exactly who she is, which is a real shame as he probably will. And I'm not just saying that because I get a cut from the thong sales.
An American professor of literature, he's better known as the man who unmasked Joe Klein through his writing style - and then had to put up with him whining for weeks that it wasn't him, before eventually confessing.
Foster wrote a great book about it all, the intro of which is here. Highly recommended reading - unlike The Times this weekend, who will try to end a mystery that really only they care about solving.

I do care, too!
I dunno - I don't find her all that as a writer, but then I was never all that into Forum magazine all those years ago either. It all seems, I don't know, gratuitous maybe?
