Plagiarism and the Presidency
Here's a quick link to a resource on plagiarism. The assigned material in the Bedford Researcher is generally sufficient, but Michael Harvey refers to the example of the accusations that presidential candidate Joe Biden plagiarized material from speeches and interviews by British orator Neil Kinnock and former presidential candidate Robert Kennedy. It was later revealed that Biden had received a failing grade in a law class because he plagiarized. As Harvey cautions: "be afraid of plagiarism. It creates paper-trail timebombs that can destroy a career you've spent decades building—especially today, when teachers routinely keep copies of papers and the Internet makes it a snap to compare texts and locate sources."
