Plagiarism!

There's a pretty popular article out there about Gaston Glock and the Glock pistols. This article, by Philip Shenon of the Daily Beast appears to plagiarize the original.

http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=103422

Could someone please point me to the original article? I'd be interested in contacting the original author.

Looks somewhat similar to this one : http://www.forbes.com/global/2003/0331/020.html

Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

Another similar article at http://www.slate.com/id/2280829/

Looks like all three sourced their article from the Glock factory press release
