This article needs references and sources to support the content. The content appears to be non-controversial so I left it alone for now, but official policy requires all biographies of living people to be well-sourced. I am surprised that an article about such a well know public figure has been here for years without a reference section.--Libertyguy (talk) 02:41, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
