Wash. Post article highlighted review of Post columnist Gerson's book but omitted specific plagiarism allegation

SUMMARY: A Washington Post article reported that David Frum's review of Post columnist Michael Gerson's book Heroic Conservatism "offers several examples of what he [Frum] terms the author's self-aggrandizement, saying that Gerson inflated his role in the development of the president's AIDS initiative in Africa and in writing a potential concession speech for George W. Bush on Election Day 2000." However, the article did not mention that Frum accused Gerson of plagiarizing from Frum's White House memoir.
