The other day Michael Bracken emailed this link to me. As I read the article this morning it reminded me of the plagiarism case from last year where a writer pieced together his manuscript from multiple books by famous authors in the spy genre. In an Internet world where you can cut paste any sentence you need, this is probably going to happen more and more in both fiction and non-fiction. And it's very troubling.

Many thanks for the link, Michael!!
