The universities of Bayreuth and Wurzburg, the Guttenberg case, and the two members of the European Parliament now under suspicion of plagiarism, Silvana Koch-Mehrin and Jorgo Chatzimarkakis ? \u2013 all of that raises the question, \u201cIs Germany a land of cheap doctorates?\u201d Or is it a matter of the \u201cdreck effect\u201d \u2013 i.e., when you notice one thing that’s wrong, suddenly you start noticing that same thing everywhere?
