this young professor had actually i believe plagiarized in all innocence. he was sort of a postmodern type writer who is borrowing from earlier writings and using them. to me his explanations were somewhat garbled and muddled and they said something about where modern english scholarship is. i thought how can a ph.d. in english make this grave a mistake? but despite his pleas that this was an ascent and let's put and arata university georgia press was the publisher, the book was withdrawn by georgia. the copies were called and destroyed. this to me was the worst thing for any author. it's like the iconic scene in the 1960s television show brandon. chuck connors is out there stripping off this regalia and insignia and breaking up the sword and you are better so this young man unfortunately really did suffer that fate reidy was fired from where he was teaching at the time which i think was the university of mississippi at that time. he ultimately went abroad to teach english as a second language there and there were some people who really regretted the way th

my conclusion is the ivory tower is not without its tensions and if you violate plagiarism that could give you booted out and is a very serious thing. something as i could write easily in an hour. especially if i was over in my mind to think about different directions of which to approach it but the average time for the column was an hour in the half that i would turn over and so i have often very fortunate there. whatever it would take me to read the books some of means the in in that i have to have a strong sense or feeling and i think in a columnist can relate to this. it is a struggle because you don't feel that strongly about a book for an issue. but those tended the defense is something i was more passionate about for instance the massachusetts prep school that got rid of all the of printed books went to an all digital format. while this is the first library that has done this and it is a cultural marker. it was very easy to put on paper. but it got a lot of press at the time because it was a first library to abandon box. the headmaster said something when i see both sides the o

don't amount to overseeing a jason blair-like scenario, where you have somebody guilty of serial plagiarism which is a fireable offense, there were things that happened behind the scenes that are larger than just somebody who say is cold or difficult to deal with. she did make moves to try and hire a comanaging ededitor without telling her current managing editor. she went to hire a lawyer to address her concerns about her salary, you know, and that was viewed as sort of a combative move by the publisher, arthur sulzberger. so i do think the question of sexism is a fair one to explore. i would just add that it's not simply due to, you know, her attitude in page 1 meetings. >> rose: there is also this-- would this have happened is it there was me-- someone as strong, prepared to take over who clearly had himself some conflicts with jill, according to what we read, and someone that the paper valued as a future editor, and probably jill thought of as a future editor in chief. >> certainly. i think having dean beckett, who is you now executive editor, in that position sort of created some new p
