Shakespeare, Interrupted. NOT.

Don't miss the online version of an August 09 article Shakespeare, Interrupted in Scientific American by Michael Shermer. He dismisses the authorship question, concluding:

"...Reasonable doubt is not enough to dethrone the man from Stratfordupon-Avon, and to date, no overwhelming case has been made for any other author."

(Is that a new pseudonym, "Stratfordupon-Avon"? I'm liking it, big time.)

Despite his disappointing, uninformed, and apparently undeited remarks, you'll find thoughtful comments by Oxfordians including Ian Haste, William Wray, Roger Stritmatter, Nonie Sharpe, and Hank Whittemore. It's worth reading through to the end to find these gems.

And perhaps some of you will want to join the discussion,

    Showerman, Regnier, Shahan, Hunter, Miller Cutting, etc. It makes me proud.
