More "Harvard and Apologies" News


Who's Sorry Now?

Teenage author, Kaavya Viswanathan, wrote "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life," and is "shocked" at the similarities readers discovered between her work and a book she read in high school by Megan McCafferty.

Yeah, right. Post An Apology puts this in the Drive-By Apology category...not sincere, not contrite, get it over with, too bad for Megan. (And I'll keep the movie and future book deals, thank you very much).

The Harvard Crimson here:
"I sincerely apologize to Megan McCafferty and to any who feel they have been misled by these unintentional errors on my part."
