Harvard Crimson's Navel Gazing Reveals Lint

Last week, the paper announced it was cutting a columnist who borrowed examples from a Slate magazine story without attribution. Today, the paper airs allegations that one of its editorial cartoonists may also be stealing ideas. But no word yet on whether it will ax her, too.
