Compulsive letter-writer clearly had nothing else to do with his timeWhile Mitch Albom's non-punishment by the Detroit Free Press is inflaming debate out here, on the left coast the intrepid reporters at the Contra Costa Times smoked out their very own fraud: compulsive letter-writer Kyle Vallone, who concocted a variety of identities under which to submit letters to the editor of various Bay-area newspapers. A model of discretion, he'd also send an angry email whenever a letter wasn't published.
