A Minnesota woman contends best-selling author Tom Clancy plagiarized a poem of hers for his novel, "Without Remorse." In a copyright infringement lawsuit, Colleen Corah Hitchcock alleges Clancy used her poem, "Ascension," on the dedication page of the hard-cover edition without crediting her. More than 1.7 million copies of the book were distributed. Hitchcock said she wrote the poem in her memory of her father after he died of cancer.
