Buchanan faces copyright suit
DALLAS (AP) — A Southern
Methodist University economics pro
fessor has sued Reform Party presi
dential hopeful Pat Buchanan and his
publisher for copyright infringement.
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”

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.
