Splendid reader Brendan Myers solved the Barstow question at the end of our previous post :
If WikiPedia is to be believed, the New York Times David Barstow was born in 1963, making it impossible for him to have gone to Disneyland with his family in 1957.
Many thanks from the (not) hardworking (enough) staff, Brendan, and best for the new year.

Aw, shucks. (Looks down. Kicks dirt.)
Confess the linked commenters attempt to propogate an (almost believable) lie makes my blood boil. Maybe this is how they all start.
