Ralph Reed-Gandhi With the Wind?

"On April 14, 1983, Reed wrote a column for The Red and Black student newspaper attacking the late Mohandas K. Gandhi of India. Entitled ‘Gandhi: Ninny of the 20th Century,’ . . .A graduate student complained to the editor of The Red and Black that Reed had plagiarized a Commentary article . . . After an investigation, Reed was fired from the paper. Reed wrote a final column acknowledging his failure to cite sources but accusing the graduate student who complained of ‘the most shocking, profane form of personal attack I can imagine.’ (Nina J. Easton, Gang of Five: Leaders at the Center of the Conservative Crusade, page 130-31)”
