The Harvard Independent, the newspaper on the campus where Viswanathan still attends, is covering the case pretty closely and has an interesting update. While the summary of the Indy’s can be referenced here, the latest article has some insight worth reading.

Hey, if the number of "internalizations" hits 100, will she be invited to be on Oprah's show??

I'm hoping they were going for the tongue-in-cheek approach, but what a novel defense. *g* After reading the first couple of passages mentioned, I thought perhaps it was shaping up to be a witch hunt. There's a certain commonality of language that's going to be shared by those of an age/background/lifestyle. But then I read a couple more, and then read her statement, and I sighed, too. And it astounds me people think they'll get away with it.
