...makes you easier to find. Lebed may have got away with his schemes for a year, but others have been identified within days. In the Emulex case in August, Jakob was targeted within hours of his phony press release. Hoke, an employee at PairGain Technologies, was nabbed just a week after his bogus release declared that PairGain was about to be bought...

He and a friend, Jared Glugeth, started a Web-based business called Promotion Solutions www.eprolutions.com) which purports to help clients advertise their websites, and PRHost.com a web-hosting service. They're a pair of go-getters. Glugeth had the foresight to use Lebed's media moment last week to hype their Web business.

Chagnon, a member of Neel's 1968 expedition, said last week he had yet to see galleys either of the book or of an excerpt scheduled to be published next week in the New Yorker magazine. The New Yorker did offer to interview him, but he declined. In a widely circulated e-mail, he charged that an American Anthropological Association open forum next month would be "a feeding frenzy in which I am the bait."
