+1 to this on both points. My question is how would the SI editor at the time have even begun trying to track the quote back to Phelps after getting that note from Clines? I see how you did it, and that was far from easy, but you used the internet, so I see how you got there. How would someone in the late 1960s, even in journalism, go about doing that and coming up with the Phelps version? Seems like sorcery to my 'Net-supported brain.
This is great and you're insane.
