Newsweek has a story online today about a passage, in a book published by Wiley, that was recently discovered to have been plagiarized (D'oh!) from Wikipedia.
In this post, my SciBling Shelley Batts, of Retrospectacle, analyzed a recent paper claiming that fruit becomes healthier when consumed with alcohol.
Hopefully, by now, the anti-Wiley blogswarm is getting geared up.
I am happy to report that the little dust-up between Shelley Batts and Wiley has ended peacefully. Wiley has apologized for their rather heavy-handed treatment of the matter.
Of course, there is always the quip (I don't remember who said it):
"Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Those who remember are condemned to watch it being repeated."
Kind of like reincarnation, but without the karmic fringe benefits...
