...long-smoldering rumor that Sholokhov is a plagiarist. Reports that Sholokhov had plagiarized the novel were so widespread in 1929 that Pravda threatened to prosecute the "malicious slanderers." When Stalin later declared Sholokhov to be "the great writer of our tune," any discussion of the novel's true authorship became extremely dangerous. But the controversy would not die. In 1967 Russian Poet Andrei Voznesensky publicly recited an unpublished poem in Moscow that clearly alluded to Sholokhov...
Like many composers, Brahms was in the habit of making transcriptions, mainly to double his royalties, although he often concealed his authorship in a pseudonym. This transcription is unsigned, but it carries the unmistakable stamp of the master. No one but Brahms would have dared change the key, Starker points out - an inspired musical per mutation that illuminates the cello's lower register and exploits the instrument's mellow color and timbre. The composer also made some 200 alterations, mostly minor, in the score which he probably recast for his friend, the eminent 19th century cellist Robert Hausmann...
Wright's credentials include the authorship of the definitive handbook on the federal court system. He was brought into the White House last year, before Watergate erupted, to craft constitutionally sound legislation that would reverse the wave of court decisions ordering busing to achieve racial balance in public schools.

...inasmuch as the parties were patriotically motivated to forestall the catastrophic felony of a democratic victory. (We marvel how conveniently files disappear in headquarters). We could reward the California firebug for risking his person as fire-fighter in the most disastrous fire Berkeley has had in decades, despite his authorship of the same. We could also award a posthumous peace-prize to Herr Von Ribbentrop for cementing a bilateral non-aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin just prior to the German invasion of Russia...
...Democratic machine in Cook County. After he had hiked in denims 1,197 miles across Illinois, talking up his giant-killer theme, Walker edged out Daley's candidate in the primaries. But once he began campaigning against Ogilvie, an able Governor whose main political misfortune was authorship of the state's first income tax, Walker dropped the boss issue in favor of a vague promise that he would give the voters a "fighting chance." Had Walker made up with Daley? No one has said, but it is plain that Walker could not have won without some Daley cooperation...
