It’s not just you, John.

Well, it’s nice to know that a reader noticed.

Is it me, or are John Nichols and the Nation ripping off your story from last year without attribution?

No, it’s not just you, John. The Nation did rip us off - I spoke with John Nichols, the authors of The Nation’s Urban Archipelago, and he told me it was an accident, an oversight. We were mentioned and credited in an early draft and then, you know, with all the cutting and pasting, the credit got dropped. They’re going to run a correction.
