Thus far...[edit]

The two primary sources I have for this are his obituary in The New York Times and an online article on Baltimore's City Papers Online. RahadyanS 05:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mentor and Protégé[edit]

Howard often spoke of Bosley Crowther as being his mentor. Must find third-party documentation (now that both Crowther and Thompson have passed on) to support this. AndreasKQ 05:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate and birthname[edit]

I did a search of the Social Security Death Index, and found no perfect match for Thompson. Henry H. Thompson, 082-24-1859, has a matching death date and birth year, and a last address in New Jersey. Too much of a stretch to put into the article.Easchiff (talk) 16:41, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
