This page is very poorly written. I believe it needs to be completely rewritten (at least the Childhood and Education/Travels sections).

Grammar and spelling errors abound. This page is truly a mess.


User:Bigturtle did rewrite and it looks fine to me. Closing taskforce entry. RJFJR 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I still think there is an element of conjuncture, for example "This discovery caused him to hold a lot of bitterness towards his father, and could have played a factor in his views about society." or "His upper middle class background and academic success were drivers for his contempt of what he saw as the empty materialism of society." I think the empty materialism of society is equally apparent to some of us with low academic success, and a lower class background. There are a few citations needed, and claims like "he arrived two days before the start of classes are unverified, and as such add to the 'story-telling' rather than facts of his life. JimmytheD
