Talk:Harrison Salisbury

Work needed
Some improvements that could be made and which I will keep in mind for spare time.

Neutrality

I have fixed some obviously subjective comments, but this stub still needs to be checked for neutrality. The comments on David Halberstam need checking by someone with knowledge.

Quotations

Salisbury made some well-known comments that could be documented and linked with Wikiquote, which doesn't have a page for him yet.

Neutrality
Not a subjective reporter at all. Published information in the Times directly from a North Vietnamese propaganda pamphlet.


 * Since Mosely84 hasn't substantiated this, i'm removing the neutrality check. rone 05:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

'Expelled'
Re ''... though some sources say he was expelled from university.''
 * When I was a journalism student at the University of Minnesota in the late 1960s, a rumor making the rounds was that Salisbury had been expelled for smoking in the main library. This was pure scuttlebutt.
 * This rumor was either exaggerated, or he was readmitted later on, as both the NYT and WaPo obits (7-7-93) say he got his B.A. from the U of Minn. in 1930.
 * Given the iffyness of the 'expelled' assertion, I suggest it be deleted. Any objections? – Sca (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
