Mr. Dalziel, you misjudge my contributions to th HZ article. If you look through its history over the years, you will notice I have added much of the factual information and all or most of the photos. I understand you are feeling sensitive about the vast tracts that were subtracted from the article, and perhaps and especially if you were the person who added them. I honestly feel they were irrelevant and do not put the subject in context. My major observation is that the material was unsourced. The rules require no original research. Comments about the life and views of Schlesinger et al. belong in an article on Schlesinger. What Google picks up is beside the point. HZ discusses the FBI in his memoir. It is no secret. The long tracts about who the critics are, especially alleging one of them is "prominent" is pure b.s. The material about Kazin belongs in an article about Kazin, not about Zinn. I would be happy to discuss this further with you. Skywriter 06:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
