I don't see it on the website, but Lohman's April 30 piece, "Right on, Iacocca!" appears to be a verbatim reprint of a piece that has appeared (written by other authors) in several other forums.

Iacocca's book is not a "new book." It was published in April 2007, over a year ago. (See

Furthermore, the EXACT LANGUAGE that Lohman uses (right down to his intro paragraph) occurs
in the following locations online:

Jim Lohman is ordinarily one of my favorite columnists. But this article appears to be simply someone else's article copied under his name.
