September Toronto Columnist Dick Beddoes resigned from the Globe and Mail after he admitted that on September 3, 1980, he had plagiarized most of a column on homosexual rights from the work of Russell Baker, a columnist at the New York Times. Later it was found that the Globe and Mail removed the plagiarized column from its microfilm and computer editions.
