Yes. Newspaper reporters make mistakes. I wonder if Bill Lawson has any idea how much controversy he stirred up by getting that stuff wrong.

Given that he made four other mistakes in that article, I wouldn't take anything he says very seriously.
I’m used that type of response by now, everything that doesn’t suit a particular theory must be some journalists mistake...like the one the kenyan made when he told the Hawaiian interviewer in 1962 that he had not been back to Kenya for 7 years.
Or the journalist who interviewed the kenyan’s teacher at the school in Maseno, who pulled out the numbered and named attendance cards from the fifties and said that the kenyan left to go to the US as soon as he finished his term at the school, in 1954...and that his older brother left the school before he did; an older brother who was TWO years older, born in 1934 - probably with the same birthdate as the kenyan used on his scholarship application.
you’ve got nothing but theories, Lucy is right, no one cares what you THINK.
Because it’s evident to me that if there is information out there that places any doubt on your THINKING you immediately resort to the ‘the journalist made a mistake’ position.
