Two instances of alleged plagiarism made headlines yesterday.
"Yesterday’s Boston Globe had a long article about accusations of plagiarism leveled against a Harvard University undergraduate in her first novel, which has been widely celebrated as a true-to-life tale of an Indian-American girl’s coming of age. The allegations, which say the book copies elements of two other novels published in the last five years, were first reported on Sunday in The Harvard Crimson.
And yesterday’s New York Times reported that an acclaimed book of advice written by the chief executive of the Raytheon Company appears to have been partly lifted from a 1944 book by an engineering professor at the University of California at Los Angeles."
