DON'T THINK WE FORGOT ABOUT HER: This blog was one of the few, I think, that showed compassion for valedictorian/plagiarist Blair Hornstine, extolling her rights to the first while damning her for the second, and feeling pretty badly that Harvard dissed her while believing she's better off not being there in the first place.

Well, now, as many outlets reported today, the case has settled for $60,000, most of which is going to attorney's fees, and we still don't know what Ms. Hornstine will be doing this fall. "Blair's personal life is her own," her lawyer said yesterday, which is how it should be.

Let's just hope whatever college she does attend ends up giving her the blank slate all freshmen deserve.
