Dear Ms. Satterwhite,
Let me add that in his correspondence with me, Mr. Lemonick retracted
many of the statements he made in your magazine. For example, he
conceded that the other researchers have made similar claims,
although he said: "It may be that others have produced cold fusion
since, but that's not the same thing."
Since your own author has backed down and refuted what he wrote, I
think it is odd that you still claim you "correctly described" the situation.
I think it is also apparent from his letters that Mr. Lemonick has
not read the relevant scientific literature on this subject.
My correspondence with Mr. Lemonick is summarized here:

I would be happy to send you the complete set of letters.
While we are on the subject, I think Time magazine should also
apologize for comparing Martin Fleischmann to Josef Mengele. Perhaps
even you will agree that was exaggerated, and they do not belong in
the same class of people. Fleischmann is a Fellow of the Royal
Society, after all. This was also somewhat insensitive. Fleischmann's
father died a few days after he was tortured and then (inexplicably)
released by the Gestapo, and Fleischmann barely managed to escape to
England, so he did not appreciate your comparison. See:
