Paul Moore says his computer-assisted review of Michael Olesker's columns turned up additional instances where the former Sun writer used material from other sources without meeting the paper's standard for attribution. But, he adds, "it is important to note that the vast majority of the columns examined did not have such problems. Most, especially those based on on-the-scene reporting, are a testament to the passion and energy of his writing." More editor/ombud columns:
