Need the blogosphere to help me out on this one.
Who is real author of this week's Time column on mad chessman Bobby Fischer?
Is it Joe Klein? (Thanks to xrlq for the spell check on Joe's last name.)
Or is it Charles Krauthhammer?
Click on both links and give me your theory as to what is behind this royal publishing screw-up at Time.com (or is it a not too clever attempt at plagarism by one of these columnists? Your consipracy theories are all welcome!)
You will notice that even the article numbers in the competing URL's are exactly the same:

http://www.time.com/time/columnist/krauthammer/article/0,9565,1054411,00.html
Weird...

Posted by: McGehee at April 29, 2005 07:29 AM (Permalink)Krauthammer has a different column dated 4/26, so I'm inclined to think this column was from Klein (not "Klien," who does not exist).

Posted by: Justene at April 30, 2005 11:07 AM (Permalink)Probably neither of them. Some grunt probably did most of the research, then the "star" put his name on it.
