From The New York Times, 1/12/85:
Detroit, Jan. 11 (AP) -- A 16-year-old honor student agreed to
return a $1000 prize for a short story that he originally said
he had written but that he later admitted was the work of Roger
Zelazny, a prize-winning author.
The student, Phil Broder, said Thursday, after he was
confronted by his father and school officials, that he had
lifted his story, 'The George Business', about a lovesick
knight and a cynical dragon, from UNIVERSE VARIATIONS [sic],
a collection by Mr. Zelazny that was published in 1983.
This episode sounds like a wonderful short story subject -- I wonder if
Zelazny would care to fictionalize it as an alternate universe story
and title it 'Universe Variations'?
