Dear Tipsters, 

if someone needs a short break from grading finals:
Today's topic at Chris White's Topfive-List are 
"The Top 5 Signs a College-Student Author Is a Plagiarist"

>From the Introduction:
NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~

Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan was accused of
plagiarizing material from three different sources for
"How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life,"
her novel about an Indian-American teenager and her
struggle to get into Harvard. Viswanathan's six-figure
contract was subsequently cancelled and her formerly
hot book pulled off the market by the publisher.

Regards,
Rainer
