I think "Just the reverse" might indicate where "at the heart of" points, i.e. "at the heart of CHATTER" rather than "at the heart of [words that come next]." <br /><br />So without "Just the reverse" then maybe the clue would more likely indicate <br /><br />at the heart of (phonE COmpany) = ECO<br /><br />and this clue would be a rather cutting remark about the quality of Umberto Eco's writing (= "Chatter"). So *thank criminy* it's not not that!!
