3. Johnny Cash 1/23/2018 5 Great People Who Plagiarized - Plagiarism Today However, Goodall herself has always been somewhat divisive among scientists. Though well­regarded as a public figure, her approach to science, which included naming chimpanzees rather than number them, has always been controversial. Considering that this is the first instance of plagiarism in an otherwise long and ethically spotless career, it makes sense that this incident would not destroy her reputation single­handedly. Though a half century of prominent research doesn’t buy one the right to plagiarize, it does buy additional forgiveness, especially for a problem that was caught early. It also helps that the plagiarism is not in her core field. Seeds of Hope is a departure for Goodall, discussing plant life rather than primates. While relevant to her message of environmentalism and conservation, it has little to do with her work as a researcher. 3. Johnny Cash One of the biggest names in music history, Johnny Cash is primarily thought of as a country musician but has actually been inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll and Gospel Music Halls of fame. Cash’s many hits include songs such as I Walk the Line, Ring of Fire, A Boy Named Sue and Jackson, a duet with his wife June Carter Cash. Known as much for his black attire as his music, “The Man in Black” enjoyed a career spanning nearly five decades that earned him countless awards and his music continues to influence multiple genres of music to this day. The Plagiarism In 1955 Johnny Cash recorded the song “Folsom Prison Blues”, the tale of a convicted murder being tortured by the sound of a passing train while stuck in prison. It was released that year and rereleased again in 1968 after he performed the song at Folsom Prison. However, Cash had lifted the melody and much of the lyrics from a 1953 song “Crescent City Blues” by Gordon Jenkins, about a narrator hoping to get out of a small midwest town. Though Cash had changed the song fairly drastically, turning it into a piece about regret and imprisonment, the similarities were still more than glaring. The plagiarism resulted in a lawsuit, which was quickly settled with Cash paying $75,000 to put the issue to rest. That amount is worth about $660,000 today. Aftermath The lawsuit and allegations didn’t seem to impact Cash’s career at all. He went on to release countless other hits, have his own TV show and find success nearly everywhere he went. The incident seems to be an isolated (and expensive) one from Cash’s career and it seems both the music industry and the public have forgiven/forgotten. This is compounded by the fact that musical plagiarism seems to be extremely common. After all, the Beach Boys, George Harrison and most recently Sam Smith were all involved in plagiarism disputes. https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2015/02/10/5-great-people-who-plagiarized/ 3/5 1/23/2018 5 Great People Who Plagiarized - Plagiarism Today Of course, Led Zeppelin is probably the most famous serial musical plagiarist and their name hasn’t suffered much as a result either. It seems that, while copyright lawsuits are expensive, music plagiarism rarely kills careers. 4. Helen Keller Born in 1880, at 19 months old, Helen Keller became blind and deaf due to an illness. After being educated by Anne Sullivan, a story immortalized in the play and film The Miracle Worker, Keller went on to be the first deaf­ blind person to earn a bachelor or arts and went on to be a prolific author, public speaker and political activist. Today, Keller is best known from The Miracle Worker and from her autobiography, The Story of My Life. In 1961 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States’ highest civilian honors and in 1965 she was elected to the National Women’s Hall of Fame. The Plagiarism At age 11, Keller was already a celebrity. She penned a short story entitled The Frost King that was, picked up by The Goodson Gazette, a journal about deaf­blind education. However, after its publication, it was noticed that the story bore a strong resemblance to another short story entitled Frost Fairies by Margaret Canby. Initially, the blame was put on the people around Keller on the theory that she was being exploited. Keller though, repeatedly stated that she had never been exposed to Frost Fairies, did not own a copy of it and she had no recollection of the story. According to Sullivan, her investigation into the matter found that a copy of the story was in the house that Keller stayed at while Sullivan was on vacation and it was read to her there. Keller claims to have forgotten being read the story though she retained much of the plot. The case is often cited as an example of Cryptomnesia. The Aftermath Keller’s plagiarism tale is a pretty unusual one. Her career had not started when the incident took place. At just 11 years old, she was still a child, even if she was already a celebrity, and blame never really fell on her. Instead, it was Sullivan and others around Keller who were accused of the misdeed. Still, the incident had no lasting effect on her career and is more of a bizarre footnote than anything. This is further driven home by the seemingly­credible allegations of cryptomnesia and this case becomes more a “strange incident” than an ethical misstep. No other significant allegations of plagiarism were made against Keller for the rest of her career. 5. T.S. Eliot https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2015/02/10/5-great-people-who-plagiarized/ 4/5.

  • The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller'
    H-Disability Morman on Wagner, 'The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller' Review published on Saturday, February 1, 2014 David Wagner. The "Miracle Worker" and the Transcendentalist: Annie Sullivan, Franklin Sanborn, and the Education of Helen Keller. Boulder: Paradigm Publishers, 2012. viii + 171 pp. $140.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-59451-936-9; $33.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-59451-937-6. Reviewed by Edward (Ed) T. Morman (Independent) Published on H-Disability (February, 2014) Commissioned by Iain C. Hutchison A Strong Radical Woman and the Philanthropic Men Who Knew Her Can two people, at least one of whom does not fit neatly into any mold, be used to exemplify contrasting social forces? In this delightful book, David Wagner proposes to do just that with Franklin Benjamin Sanborn and Annie Sullivan Macy, even as he points out the pitfalls of such an approach. The theme of the book is social status and the worldviews that go with it. Disability--Sullivan’s visual impairment and Helen Keller’s deaf-blindness--is responsible for the contacts between Sanborn and Sullivan, but their differences (and commonalities) derive from other sources. Sanborn (1831-1917)--considerably better known in his own time than today--was a younger contemporary of the New England transcendentalists. An admirer of Samuel Gridley Howe (1801-76), Sanborn deeply respected Howe’s work as the first director of the Perkins School for the Blind. Sanborn joined Howe as a member of the “Secret Six” funders of John Brown and, after Brown’s failed 1859 raid at Harper’s Ferry, the two men together avoided arrest by fleeing to Canada.

This two-chapter audit analyzes 87 open recommendations from nine prior reports and special reviews. Chapter 1 presents the results from our first follow-up audit of49 recommendations that we identified in three audit reports issued in 2008. Chapter 2 presents the results from our follow-up review of38 recommendations that we identified in six audit and special review reports issued from 2000 through 2007. Overall, we found that the department has fully or substantially implemented 62 percent ofthe recommendations that we made that were still applicable. However, work remains for many recommendations, including eight unimplemented recommendations related to an on-going safety and security issue that continues to concern the OIG. Specifically, the department continues to allow custody officers to work armed posts without having completed quarterly weapons proficiency requirements.

Revives Classic 1969 Portrait of “Johnny Cash: The Man, His World, His Music,” Tuesday, Aug. 5 on PBS Film Captures Cash on the Road, on Stage and Behind the Scenes Fresh on the Heels of His Breakthrough “Folsom Prison” Album; June Carter Cash, Bob Dylan, Carl Perkins Featured “…a rousing masterpiece.” – Rolling Stone Magazine When the Man in Black died in September 2003, he closed an original and captivating chapter in the great American songbook. Even as death approached, Johnny Cash displayed the hardscrabble grit, authentic individualism and knack for doing the unexpected that had made him an American icon — his powerful video cover of Trent Reznor’s “Hurt,” showing him visibly ailing but resolute, was nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards that year. It had been a long, maybe improbable, certainly American journey for a sharecropper’s son from Kingsland, Ark., and it had more ups and downs and surprising turns than a country road. In 1968, Robert Elfstrom (who went on to an award-winning career as a cinematographer and director) had the insight to make a documentary on Cash — and the luck to strike up a warm and candid rapport with the temperamental singer. By then, Cash, who had begun his career in the late ‘50s, had won over country music audiences with his uniquely intense "underdog" ballads, and was experiencing the first of several crossover successes with Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison.
