Gladwellmania

Becky, did you see Sunday's gigantic NYTBR review of Gladwell? Choice bit: "Translating academic work for a popular audience is 'very explicitly' his mission, Gladwell said, though it might not be what readers take away from his books. He said he owed 'enormous debts' to academia."

Apparently the NYTimes reporter ripped off the entire article from a writer from the Huffington Post!

NO WAY! Who says? The Huffington Post?

Apparently some guy at Huffington wrote the same article 6 months ago. They have/had his article republished the last couple of days.

Well I'll be damned. The Times strikes again.
