Lessons in Integrity --DeWese

Just listen to this memo that I got from Attila the Editor and his nasty little henchmen.

Dear Mañana Man (or whoever you think you are today):

The recent New York Times plagiarism scandal involving reporter Jayson Blair alerted us to possible plagiarism, lies, misrepresentations and other made-up stuff in your 206 monthly columns dating from November 1984 through June 2003. Accordingly, we have researched all 258,530 words you have written for this magazine. We commissioned, at great expense, the Warren G. Harding High School Spring Semester English 101 students to perform this ambitious audit. The project required these bright students to conduct thousands of hours of interviews, literary comparisons and the research of quotation attribution.
