I've been through twice, fixing typos, clunky bits, missing words etc. I'm not sure what the Maynard bit was supposed to be saying, so that may need checking again. There was a typo in the final quotation, which I assume arose during transcription. Cheers, Jimfbleak 07:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a typo. The Maynard story was reported mostly as-is, it's at the end of Taber's account, and I thought it made for an interesting insight in the man's character. Circeus 19:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
