5- Witi Ihremia?
FM – he might have but someone else said it first.
(1) That would be the pointer on a sundial
(2) Maurice Duggan
(3) Hmmm
(4) Dick Francis
(5) The only quote I know along these lines is “Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research” which was from a hollywood screenwriter whose name for the moment eludes me. Mind you his saying could be plagiarism of whoever you have in mind – or vice versa.
We are very literary in our questions this week – no?
