The Jihad of Construction plans to hire some of the country's biggest construction companies for projects that need to be done quickly, like removing debris from the streets before the autumn rains begin.

But McCafferty, as the Village Voice pointed out in May, should not suffer for Viswanathan’s sins; it may be easy to deride the author who inspired the bulk of Viswanathan’s plagiarism, but it’s not fair to do so without reading her work...
