[LM_NET] GEN: Research Question

[Jennifer Blick <jenniferblick@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello:
 
One of our English teachers just brought me a research question that neither she 
nor I know the answer to...I am hoping you can help!
 
In a short paragraph, the same source is quoted twice.  Each time it is quoted, 
parenthetical citations are used.  The first time, it says (Weber A1) and the 
second, (qtd. in Weber A1).  Her question is why the parentheical citations needed 
to be used both times - she has always taught that, if the same source was used 
more than once in the same paragraph, it only needs to be cited at the end of the 
last reference.  Any explanations?  
 
Here is the paragraph if that makes my explanation more clear:
 
According to an Associated Press news report, a study published in the March 1999 
issue of Archives of General Psychiatry suggests that "Babies whose mothers smoke 
during pregnancy could be a higher risk of growing up to be criminals" (Weber 1A). 
Claiming their finding to be "significant", authors of the study point out "Our 
results support our hypothesis that maternal smoking during pregnancy is related to 
increased rates of crime in adult offspring" (qtd. in Weber A1). This study sends 
out serious warnings against smoking.
 
Thanks!
