Andersen concedes a point to Rutten

The number of college graduates who read the L.A. Times is closer to the 42% that Times columnist Tim Rutten claimed in his churlish snappish response, not the 19% that Kurt Andersen claimed in his New York Magazine bash to the LAT's face. Andersen acknowledges such in correspondence with Dakota Smith, who locates the sources of all the claims at Netscape.com.
