Incorrect image at top right of article.

I do not know the identity of the individual shown as the main image illustrating this article but is is most certainly NOT Henry Cowell (the person is a woman, for a start)! Please could this image be removed and one of the many publically available correct images of Cowell be used as a replacement? Thank you.

Ives's Alleged Homophobia

"...although a few, including Ives, broke contact with him" - This is not true.
