[Jim Devine]

unfortunately, we leftoids have to live up to higher scholarly
standards than do the  right-wing & middle-of-the-bird people. The
right wing slices off the Ward Churchill part of the salami and then
moves on ... We have to live up to higher standards to help save the
left (and eventually to make it more influential and effective).

Meanwhile, haven't establishmentarian authors (Doris Kearns Goodwin?)
been accused of plagiarism and then effectively forgiven?
