Both Kagan and Maureen Dowd are totally unethical in their corruption of quotations by ommissive 'editing'. This in my mind is worse than most cases of plagiarism, and both should be blacklisted from publishing, at least temporarily.

Just to be clear, not Donald Kagan but Daniel Mendelsohn of Princeton distorted (dowderized) the citation from Hanson's book.
