“Putnam (sic) Paralellogram” Is Fiction

May 8, 2002 Iowa City, Iowa - I received several e-mail requests to do an investigation of a topic forwarded around in cyberspace the past few weeks in an article entitled "The Putnam (sic) Paralellogram: Iowa's Answer to the Bermuda Triangle?" submitted by Dr. Leonid Rosenweitz. The website listed with the internet article is http://www.yawp.com/3rd-i/current/pp/putnam.html. That website belongs to a loose group of people scattered between Iowa City and Charlottesville, Virginia who like to write fiction and pass it off as non-fiction.
