[edit] Questions

Why polish Wikipedia has a large article (section and pictures) about gov. Patterson, and english has so little?

And what about his role in Invasion on Cuba in 1961? Seymour Hersh wrote about this in "Dark Side of Camelot".

[edit] Name spelling

If there's a reason for spelling "Malcolm" as "Malcom" in this article's title, we ought to mention it. If there isn't, we ought to correct it. - Nunh-huh 01:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Given that there are roughly the same number of Google hits on "John Malcom Patterson" and "John Malcolm Patterson", and that the official sites prefer the more common spelling, I suspect most of the hits for the misspelling are our mirrors, so I'm moving the article pending any reason it should be at "Malcom" - Nunh-huh 23:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
