Oh, I didn't mean it was scandalous, just that I'd noticed some recycling, particularly that "the city is a lady" rap.

All writers recycle, re-tool, revise, cannibalize, whatever. That's normal. It's not like some of those old pulpsters slapping a different title on an old story and re-selling it (or was it the publisher doing it?)
