The Benford Plagiarism Dossier 04

I can provide the email address of William F Prine who confirms the work is his





 William Prine's link (circa 1991): http://groups.google.com/group/alt.prose/browse_thread/thread/d631c26401cfb2a6/c8741ccfb3cf3dc7?lnk=gst&q=prine#c8741ccfb3cf3dc7
I'm sure he would be interested to learn of this as well. I think he is a Technical Writer based out of Chicago.

J.D. Beresford is actually relatively famous (or was in his day) and his story can be found here: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pPXGHebQG4AC&pg=PA115&lpg=PA115&dq=%22i+foresaw+the+danger+that+threatened+him%22&source=bl&ots=bOUKbpjJvl&sig=QkPtJiSJr3oUfH_JV9gd7c2e2wU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2yrXT667LYWohAf8zZXtAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22i%20foresaw%20the%20danger%20that%20threatened%20him%22&f=false

The thing I can't understand is why anyone would do this. It is bound to get spotted and is professional suicide for someone in academia. I don't know, however, whether her qualifications and job are as bogus as her bibliography.

Let me know how this turns out.

Regards,

Martin
