Petard warning

[source]A graduating student in New Jersey sued her school to be sole valedictorian. She is disabled and there was a dispute concerning the accomodations made by the school for her and it's effect on her GPA(grade point average). Sadly I have sympathy for her point of view, as the article cited indicates that the school decided to change the rules very late in the school year (and in her senior year). The student was planning on going to Harvard but due to the media scrutiny from the lawsuit her work for the school newspaper was put under a microsope and it turns out that she plagiarized large chunks of it. Harvard has now withdrawn its acceptance. Playing with fire can be dangerous.

This is clearly the "not found" error page that should be up at the ??NY Times??. [source]
