Scandal at Harvard In one of the largest and swiftest recalls in publishing history, publisher Little, Brown & Co. announced April 27 it would withdraw all unsold copies of a Harvard sophomore's first novel from bookstores days after 19-year-old Kaavya Viswanathan admitted she borrowed portions of text from another writer's books. The publisher had signed Viswanathan to a reported $500,000 contract for "How Opal Mehta got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life" and a second book.
