I'm not quite sure whether it's correct to say ...educated at Oxford University where he earned BA and MA degrees in modern history, since as far as I know, at Oxford and Cambridge you get an MA by paying a small fee a short time after you get your BA, rather than actually studying for it! -- Arwel 12:40, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I thought that was just Oxford (which applies in this case). But I'd only bother mentioning the BA myself (which may be just sour grapes from someone who spent a year earning their masters). Average Earthman 16:33, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Drafted?

How come he was drafted during the Vietnam War, when he was still a British subject at that time? Is that legal?

Yeah, I didn't understand that either. It says later in the article that he became a US citizen in 1985, so there's no way he could have been drafted into the US army before then. One of those two facts, the 1985 date or the drafting, has to be incorrect.

At the dragon

What does "at the Dragon" mean?

Category: English Jew

He's not an English Jew, he's a Welsh Jew, and of course there are Jews in Wales! This Category should be removed and someone should create a "category: Welsh Jew" which would suite this man, since he was born in Cardiff WALES! Amlder20 16:02, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited it so it's now Welsh Jews instead of English Jews.

Oundle and the Dragon?

Its not clear if Oundle refers to the town and Dragon refers to the school (even so, which Dragon School?) Orijok 20:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
