This is sort of a nasty hatchet-job by Wikipedia standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.217.63 (talk) 22:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. This is not a balanced presentation of a persons life and work. There are no positives to balance an unrelenting stream of attacks. At least one is based on a non-existent source (September Eventh History Magazine). Zweibieren (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I inserted a POV-Check note because I do not feel that the discussion is a balanced presentation of information on the subject. It is ture that references are provided. Indeed, so much so as to suggest that the author was well aware of introducing bias. At least one refeence, "September Eventh History Magazine", does not exist under that name or the more likely name of "September Eleventh History Magazine." The cited article does appear to exist, but in a strident forum.

In short, the article subsections should be eliminated or the article revised to a proper biography, in which the existing subsections could be a part.
