I may have reported what I heard in terms of my emotional and amazed response to Alawi's words rather than reporting Alawi's exact words. But I got the gist of his words right.

You did, indeed, get the gist right. The "gist," however, is called a paraphrase. Paraphrases are the ones without quotation marks. Quotes are ones with quotation marks. <g> Your "quote" sent me off on a wild goose chase and triggered a pointless discussion.

Mort Kondracki in his article documents how ignored it was.

Unfortunately it's too late to check up on the rest of Kondrake's "research." I can only challenge one piece of it, the one I encountered during my wild goose chase.

Not so strange

Your piece of it isn't strange. Once I saw CB's quote and reference to multiple Google hits, I realized what had happened and that yours was probably a paraphrase. Presumably, though, Kondrake and the Post have assess to replay so it's still strange that they would publish differing quotes.
