[It sure seems that there's an epidemic of plagiarism afoot. Is that just one of those "news spasm" artifacts - or is it easier to detect now - or is it that people are under more pressure than ever, and more likely to steal others' words?]

Plagiarism by Design? MIT Press Seeks Recompense From McGraw-Hill for Copying in Architecture Book By SCOTT MCLEMEE
MIT Press has demanded compensation from McGraw-Hill for infringing MIT's copyright on Pietro Belluschi: Modern American Architect, by Meredith L. Clausen, a professor of architectural history at the University of Washington. Portions of Ms. Clausen's monograph are reproduced, without acknowledgment, in Structures of Our Time: Thirty-one Buildings That Changed Modern Life (McGraw-Hill, 2002), by Roger Shepherd, a professor of fine arts at the Parsons School of Design, in New York.
