Going Viral
Germaine, a universally admired writer, was discovered as having inadvertently copied a few lines from a scholarly paper that he had just finished reading, and which had deeply impressed him.
The news of the plagiarism went viral.
Although he apologized, his career was over.
No small stumble ever goes unpunished.
