PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

"THE OTHER SICK MAN." Lefty partisan Larry Tribe of Harvard Law -- thief.

What I find interesting is to see law professor Glenn Reynolds head for the 'nuance boy" high-grass of the "go along to get along" academic guild member when it's his own peers who get caught. I first read InstaPundit when he began covering the big academic plagiarism scandals of two years ago. If there was this much nuance in the past, I don't recall it.

UPDATE: Tribe admits he did it, apologizes. Quotable:

University President Lawrence H. Summers told The Crimson in an interview last week � before the allegations against Tribe surfaced � that he did not see �a big trend� of plagiarism problems at the Law School as a result of the charges against Ogletree and Dershowitz, but indicated that a third case would change his mind. �If you had a third one, then I would have said, okay, you get to say this is a special thing, a focused problem at the Law School,� Summers said of the recent academic dishonesty cases ..

But both Ogletree and Dershowitz jumped to defend their colleague from the charges leveled against him ..
