I didn't edit the article because it was from 2015, I did ask Dick for the link and pulled out the germane part that linked back to the New York Times. The New York Times makes a point of having durable links to their archives and they will always be there where they can be found again, so this article didn't need to be printed in full. That said, many other journals and websites aren't so fastidious about maintaining the articles and addresses to them. Those that are germane to Mudcat should be copied and pasted (obituaries in particular).

You don't want the copyright police to come start insisting on stuff being removed.
