[Vision2020] Citing Primary Sources via Secondary Sources

[Jeff Harkins]

Nick,

After you review the Terms of Use for the McClachy site, you may want 
to rethink your position.

Plagiarism is not restricted to academic settings and YOU KNOW 
THAT.  Review Joe Biden's history with plagiarizing Kinnoch's speech 
during his previous run for President.

I am done with this.  You are not interested in helping this young 
man learn how to use other's intellectual property.  You are just 
trying to harass me.  It's not working. Besides, I am going to engage 
in source research for a few days - ancient journals and ledgers.
