A lawsuit filed in federal court Fri day by Ravendra Batra alleges that Buchanan’s 1998 book, The Great Betrayal, plagiarized parts of Batra’s books, including charts and graphs. “Copyright is about written ex pressions and there are some strong, strong similarities between Mr. Buchanan’s work and Mr. Batra’s works,” Arthur Navarro, Batra’s at torney, said Monday. Buchanan’s campaign referred questions about the lawsuit to his publisher Little Brown & Co., which did not immediately return telephone messages left Monday by The Asso ciated Press. Buchanan’s book argues against globalization of economies, and he blasts the major political parties for seeking trade treaties that he be lieves hurt American workers and undermine the nation’s sovereignty. Batra, who specializes in interna : tional economics, appeared on the CNN news program “Crossfire” in the early 1990s when Buchanan was co-host. He said he first noticed the similarities between Buchanan’s book and some of his own work in 1998. Navarro said Buchanan attribut es ideas to Batra several times in The Great Betrayal. He also uses charts, graphs and phrases similar to those in Batra’s books, The Myth of Free Trade, a Plan for America’s Economic Revival, published in 1993, and The Great American De ception, What Politicians Won’t Tell \bu About Our Economy and Your Future, published in 1996, accord ing to Navarro. “He gives him credit in several places and not in others,” Navarro said. The lawsuit asks that Buchanan and Little Brown & Co. be enjoined from using Batra’s ideas and seeks unspecified damages. “1 just felt this was something 1 had to do because so much material had been taken,” Batra told KTVT- TV in Dallas-Fort Worth. “I want to reclaim my ideas.” Inmates escape from state jail; police chase ends with capture CONROE, Texas (AP) — Two inmates who es caped from the Bartlett State Jail were captured Mon day afternoon near Conroe following a chase that end ed after authorities shot out the tires of their stolen truck and then rammed the vehicle. David Lee Sanders, 30, and Kyndall Dwight James, 21, fled from the lockup in Williamson County about 5 a.m. Sunday. Early Monday morning, the two inmates stole a pick up at Buchanan Dam in Llano County belonging to the Lower Colorado River Au thority, Larry Todd, spokesman for the Texas De partment of Criminal Justice, said. After Sanders and James were spotted in the vehi cle, the two inmates led Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, Conroe police and Montgomery Coun ty sheriff’s deputies on a chase that ended on state Highway 105. “They went east on 105 onto a roadblock. (Author ities) shot at their vehicle. Then a Conroe police unit “They went east on 105 onto a road block. (Au thorities) shot at their ve hicle. Then a Conroe po lice unit rammed into it and it stopped” — Larry Fitzgerald Bartlett State Jail spokesperson rammed into it and it stopped,” prison spokesman Lar ry Fitzgerald said. No injuries were reported but the two inmates were taken to a Montgomery County hospital to be exam ined. They were to be ar raigned at the sheriff’s de partment and then taken to the Byrd Diagnostic Unit in Huntsville. Both men were serving sentences for aggravated as sault. James was sentenced in Burnet County while Sanders was convicted in Mont gomery County. The two were serving time in a jail op erated for the state by the pri- vately owned Corrections Corporation of America. The inmates escaped by scaling an inside fence and then cutting through two 12-foot perimeter fences topped with barbed wire, said Pamela Russell, assis tant regional director for the state jail division. A cutting tool was missing from the prison’s main tenance shop, which was broken into sometime after midnight Sunday, officials said.
