I read about the material being plagiarized, so, contrary to what you claim, it was covered. Was it blown into a a ten day front page scandal? No. Here's why.

1. Powell didn't plagiarize it. Someone else may have, but not Powell.
2. Powell didn't know it was plagiarized when he cited it.
3. Had Powell known it was plagiarized, he would have cited the original author instead, without changing the importance of the information.

So you see, it was a non-story. There was no impact on the decision process that depended on citing the original author.
