I was familiar with the posted article. All the personal information (or disinformation) in that article was obviously provided by Obama himself. Doubt if there was any factchecking by the Times.

About that same time, there was a similar Associated Press piece about Obama as the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review. It appeared in many newspapers around the country.

It's clear that Obama had pretty good relations with the MSM as far back as then, because he got an inordinate amount of publicity for a law student, even a supposedly exceptional one.

The NY Times interviews the richest Arab in the world, who just gave $40m to Harvard and Georgetown

" Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii." Curious fact to include in either a "first black" article or an article about an incoming Harvard Law Review president.

ML/NJ (still in Jerusalem)
