JUSTIN:
Plagiarism. It's hard to pronounce - and even harder to get away with. Just ask Annette Schavan, who after being stripped of her doctorate, has had to resign this week as Germany's Education Minister.

ANNETTE:
I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of America first.
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.
Thank you.
