I'm sorry she's gone. I read her book about going to Africa with Bogart and Hepburn to make "The African Queen," and it made me wish I could meet her. Too bad some jagoff had to make this a story about his lazy ass, instead of the tribute to a fabulous and interesting woman it should have been.
Dammit. This reminds me that in a month's time I will be teaching my lesson on the evils of plagiarism and how to avoid it to a class full of Gr 11 English students. I need hardly say that I have flagged similar examples to those in the article AND the comments over the years, and not only do the students, but sometimes their parents, try to argue that their clever rewrites are not, in fact, plagiarism.
