I'm glad that I did try again, thanks to Bill Foss. It may now be edited to,
and I did so, but not too much. It's a long story, and every piece has to
be examined, not all at once. I also add that information about the dating
of the work taken from a record jacket is not a strong affirmation of the
scholarship of the parties who wrote that Wikipedia entry in the first
place.
