The last I heard, Ward had finally decided to be a Creek Indian. Bill probably lumps plagarism, fabrication, false attribution in the academic and non-academic world with anti-Americanism, all under the same heading of rank heresy.

That oughta’ fire ol’ Bill up and get some free publicity for this forum.
