  • “A Flurry of Fascination” the (Anti)Plagiarism Cases of Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin
    1 “A Flurry of Fascination” The (Anti)Plagiarism Cases of Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin IN THE FIRST week of January 2002, a crime was committed. For some, the crime had actually taken place many months, even years, before the New York Times published the first of many reports on the topic. For others, the offense came later as scattered details coalesced and the several participants (perpetra- tors and victims alike) stated positions for the record. And yet, for many the crime never happened at all, but rather those accused had been falsely charged by an envious, resentful few. In the end, it would not be clear as to who did what, when, where, to whom, and why. Nevertheless, something did happen in early 2002, and the goal of this retelling is to consider how the many players involved managed to articulate both the nature of the crime and its relevance to education, scholarship, and American culture at large. These players would include a handful of state uni- versities, several college professors and students, one major publishing house, a slew of journalists, a few concerned citizens, three spokespersons, a staff of re- search assistants, and a series of experts prepared to wax eloquent on topics ranging from the proper use of punctuation marks to the diabolical repercus- sions of selling one’s soul. The issues at stake would be biggies: integrity, truth, honesty, discipline, courage, tradition. New and old technologies—computers, word-processing software, and the Internet, but also plain old paper, pencil, and handwriting—would factor in as evidence, and even accessories to the crime.

Thank you, Drs. Christina von Mayrhauser, Sabina Magliocco, and Kimberly Kirner. Each of you has played a significant role in developing and honing my skills and intellect in anthropological thought and, perhaps more significantly, in being a good person. Additionally, I would like to single out two students without whose friendship (more accurately, mentorship) I would not have completed this degree: Victoria Weaver and Kevin Zemlicka. Victoria and Kevin, I am honored to have you as such dear friends. From our mutual experiences in this program, I know that our bond is permanent. Please be prepared to keep assisting me with my many neuroses in the future. To all of those mentioned above, know that you have instilled in me aspects of character, personality, identity (or whatever the hell you want to call it) that will remain with me eternally.

The narrative started when a Pulitzer Prize winning professor was caught foisting bogus Vietnam War exploits as background for classroom discussion.1 His fantasy lapse pref- aced a more serious irregularity—the author of the Bancroft Prize book award was accused of falsifying key research documents.2 The award was rescinded. The year reached a crescendo with two plagiarism cases “that shook the history profession to its core.”3 Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin were “crossover” celeb- rities: esteemed academics—Pulitzer winners—with careers embellished by a public intellectual reputation.

At its most fundamental, this new science answers questions that have per- plexed scientists for hundreds of years.
