• The fact does sound interesting, but unfortunately, according to Fletcher M. Green in "Duff Green, Militant Journalist of the Old School," Duff Green "denied that he was armed or that he gouged Sparhawk's eyes," and it doesn't help that it was Sparhawk who made the original charge. There's not much of a way to prove that this for sure happened, so a different hook might need to be picked unless I can for sure confirm that this truly happened.

    • Why not just "that the chief editor of the United States' Telegraph allegedly gouged a rival reporter's eyes inside a Senate office?" Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 20:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
      • I'm a bit reluctant still, but I suppose it works better. PrimalMustelid (talk) 23:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
        • The article/citations would need to be adjusted accordingly Generalissima. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
