After much legal back and forth, suspected anthrax mailer Dr. Steven Hatfill is done dragging Reader's Digest and Vanity Fair through the courts on libel accusations.

Hatfill, as you'll recall, was the center of a 2003 VF article (later picked up by RD) that essentially fingered him as being behind the deadly anthrax envelopes that popped up post 9/11. The magazines issued their requisite half apologies and, with the help of a little pocket padding, it seems that's enough for Hatfill.

Like a certain diner upset at The Waverly Inn's expensive truffles, the threesome have settled the matter.

A spokeswoman for Reader's Digest, Ellen Morgenstern, confirmed the settlement, but she would not elaborate. "All I can tell you is we're very satisfied with the results. I can't get into any detail," she said.

After all, she wouldn't want to give too much of the story away, especially when they're going to make you pick up an issue to read all about it "True Stories."
