Weird Tone of article

[edit]

The quote from Robinson about his visit to the US in 33 and the intro in general make it seem like he preferred the USSR, but further down it appears he was trying to escape as early as the end of his second year there. Also the 4th and 5th paragraphs look like they might be lifted from a book. 108.28.23.254 (talk) 19:43, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreement among sources on dates

[edit]

Elder (1989) and Feldmann (1988) disagree on the dates of a number of events, such as when Robinson left the USSR for Uganda, when he was married, and when he re-obtained US citizenship. I'm not sure which source is better, but thought I would note the discrepancy here. I'm guessing this is a case of a careless journalist who took notes poorly.
