So I'm reading Rachel Swarns' Times story yesterday about all the Obama-related private school excitement here in Washington, and I'm thinking that much of it sounds familiar to me, in particular the highly amusing anecdote about one-time Hillaryite Beth Dozoretz's lobbying efforts on behalf of Sidwell Friends. You know why it sounded familiar to me? Because I read it a week ago right here on the Atlantic website. Gabriel Sherman had the story first, and the Dozoretz story in the Times seems to have been appropriated, without a hat tip, from the Atlantic.
That's the thing about these Internets; they might be destroying society, but they also make it harder to boost other people's scoops.
