All the Plagiarism That's Fit To Print

I went to a lecture earlier tonight by NY Times science reporter Andrew Revkin who made an offhand but entirely sincere remark that Tom Friedman's latest book contains a lot of Revkin's reporting, ideas, insights, etc., without any kind of attribution. Revkin also played a song about climate change (he's got an excellent voice, and is not a bad guitarist, either) and plugged his excellent NYT blog, Dot Earth.
