[edit] Year of birth?
I started looking into this after someone posted a question about it on WP:RD/H. There are several reputable sources claiming he was born in 1901(NY Times obituary; Television Heaven; Encarta) and also several reputable sources claming he was born in 1902 (IMDB; Biography.com; NY Times). Anyone have any insight into which is correct? Chuck 21:51, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
As per the New York City Birth Index 1891-1902, Birth certificate #38725 shows that Edward Sullivan was born 28 Sep 1901. To be absolutely sure you'd have to see the original. - Nunh-huh 07:41, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Red Scare
I recall reading somewhere that Sullivan was in the habit of "outing" suspected communists in his column during the '50s, yet I see no mention of this rather distasteful aspect of his life and work in the article. Can somebody look into this issue? (24.114.255.83 01:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC))
