Enigma editor and publisher Dave Weinthal got busted today. He was caught plagiarizing in an article he wrote in November, 2004. I've never been a regular reader (I'm more of a Pulse kinda grrrl) but I'm still pretty damn disappointed. Maybe I'm hyper-aware of this issue (my spouse is an English professor), but I should think that anyone who's been to college has learned that plagiarism doesn't pay. You WILL get caught -- especially in the age of Google, Lexis-Nexis, and amazon.com's search inside the book. So why would a supposed professional be so reckless and/or stupid?

Why you ask? Because Weinthal has no shame. Paradoxically, the Enigma seems less and less a mystery, and more and more a sham.
