Ironically, I'm one of the people who sort of hates Margaret Wente specifically because she is a plagarist and I don't feel she should continue to be employed as a "writer" (whatever her gender happens to be) in an economy where there are so many young, talented, smart under- and un-employed writers out there.  

And yet I have to say this was probably the best article of hers I've ever read.    Congratulations Ms. Wente....more of this please!  I did not get irritated even one time reading Ms. Wente's take on someone else's good research...this time.  Proper attribution, directly quoting her source in an interview format.  Bravo!
