I belive that this archive has been altered....

Interesting you should say that. I was just focusing on the quote they had of him saying he has hated ice cream ever since working at Baskin Robbins .

I made the same comment a few months ago when there were pictures of him in Marthas Vineyard stuffing a cone in his mouth. I had remembered that story from back before the campaign. I did a search for it and came up with the link. When clicking on the link, the message 'Archive Does not Exist " appeared. So I had to go into a Google cache for the story.

When I posted the link this time, I was surprised that it worked. What was even more surprising was the article which was supposedly written in 2004, looked totally different than the original. In the original, there was no picture of him and his family. Also, most striking, was there was not that "biography column " listing his birth place as Kapiolani Medical Center and the other info. Now interestingly if you type Honolulu Star March 21,2004 into Google, there is no cache copy available. That indicates the article link was changed which suggests they changed the article itself, as you have suggested.

I remember the original article vs. the "new" one. This is scary. It's important to save print newspapers and print out and archive original digital news stories.
