| Dear Associate, |
I recently began reading "The Cheating Culture" by David Callahan, which outlines the socio-cultural issues related to cheating. I'm enjoying the book; it's an insightful critique of American society and its blind eye towards the creeping crisis of cheating. The first chapter of the book is available in PDF format (see story #1 below).
If you'd like to review past "Cheating in the News" e-mails, I've added an archive page on our web site. Look for the link below after this week's stories. |
