Dorris Goodwin case

After seeing the similarities between Dorris Goodwin's book and books previously published I would say that it is apparent that she plagiarized various works. I think the argument that her plagiarism was unintentional is invalid. While she may not have intended to plagiarize other works, copying other works too closely without proper citation is still plagiarism intentional or not. I think this is a very good example of how carelessness in writing can lead to mistakes in citations. Learning about Dorris Goodwin's situation is beneficial in that it opened my eyes to realize that even professional, published writers can be accused of plagiarism.
