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'?
