At the Weekly Standard, writer Jonathan Last has much more on the saga of Blair Hornstine of Moorestown, N.J., who sued for the valedictorianship of her graduating class. It isn’t pretty, even aside from the plagiarism scandal (Jonathan V. Last, “First in Her Class”, Weekly Standard, Jul. 7-Jul. 14)(Harvard Crimson coverage). Plus: Joanne Jacobs has more (Jun. 29) including a link to a website by Adam Tow entitled The Blair Hornstine Project, with illuminating reader comments, and commentary by Kimberly Swygert (Jun. 28), with yet more reader comments. Update Jul. 12: Harvard withdraws offer.
