NPOV
Given the lack of a discussion here relating to the NPOV template I'd like to offer my own support for the idea that this article is currently bad at appearing dispassionate towards the subject. The unnecessarily massive quotes from a good review comprising much of his "writing career", the credulous tacit agreement with his ideas, the huge amount of unsourced information, much of this article reads more like a publicity notice than an encyclopedia. I plan on deleting and reformatting a lot of the current text and hope somebody more familiar with the subject can bring in some more relevant information for this biography.

Matriculate meaning
This sentence does not make sense to me, I can't figure out the real meaning (well, I can guess at it, but ...):

"In 1959, Gary received a scholarship to Harvard and matriculated high school in 1960."

At least in US/American usage, matriculate means "to enter" (or start, not "to leave", "to finish", or "to graduate").

Presumably (my guess at the meaning):


 * after receiving a scholarship to Harvard, he matriculated to (or at) Harvard in 1959.


 * I'm guessing he left high school in 1960. From this sentence, it is not clear whether he graduated high school or left before graduating -- from the earlier statement that he was valedictorian of his high school class, presumably he graduated.

But, that still leaves an apparent contradiction -- he started at Harvard (in 1959) before he graduated from high school (in 1960). Possibly he left high school before graduation, started Harvard, and then came back to high school to participate in the graduation ceremony?

I may think about it, and if no one else jumps in, I might change that sentence to what I'm guessing is the case (as discussed here).
