Obediance of fair use law only makes it legal. Literary accuracy,
however, is a higher standard - and demands that you post, also, the
author's opinion, whether it agree with yours or not. In this case, the
authors opinion appears to be evident in the observation of "...a dime's
worth of difference...." which you chose to not post.
Legal you may be, but of literary honesty you are in doubt.
As you say,
Cheers,
Arlen
