Length, age, neutrality, sources are fine. No sign of copyvio, plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Hook is good (although if you could get the "damn fool" quote in it would be better), picture is OK (for moustachioed monochrome portrait no. 7834). Yomangani ^talk 12:55, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you might consider adding the page numbers for his entry in the Yale Obit, if only as a gesture of mercy towards reviewers. Yomangani ^talk 13:00, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
