And now for the rest of the story:

A spokesman for the paper says Fund is leaving to write a book but will continue to write a column for DowJones's Opinionjournal.com. When asked if Fund was asked to leave because of controversy surrounding rather startling charges made about his private life on weaselsearch.com (www.weaselsearch.com/jfund4654544318.htm), the spokesman said Fund's decision to take a leave was his own and "those allegations have no relevance whatsoever to the Wall Street Journal."

A source who knows Fund says he announced on Jan. 1 that he was engaged to Morgan Frances Pillsbury and will get married in Santa Barbara in March. Oddly, his fiancée is the daughter of the woman who made the allegations against him on Weaselsearch. Fund couldn't be reached for comment.
