Badaracco

I have deleted the bit at the bottom about the Joseph Badaracco work because it was unformatted, comically out of place, and doesn't seem wholly relevant. I'm pasting it here so that whoever contributed it can do what he or she wishes with it: "I Come As A Thief is referenced by Joseph Badaracco of the Harvard Business School in his most recent work, Questions of Character: Illuminating the Heart of Leadership Through Literature (Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 2006): The protagonist in I Come as a Thief serves as an illustration of how the "flow of success" is a path of self destruction. —13:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)24.63.41.236"

Where possible, I have added/rectified and amplified previously existing information, in these changes mostly from Who’s Who in America 2002.CWO (talk) 21:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rather sounds like an idle insertion by some undergrad who was assigned to read the Badaracco book for class. --Michael K Smith^Talk 19:05, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yale

Auchincloss did not graduate from Yale (as cited in the article), so I don't think he should be listed as "alumni" Also, I believe he should be listed as Americans of Scottish descent as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mywikieditor2007 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Bovee, not St Bernard

Auchincloss attended the Bovee School, NOT St Bernard's, as is made clear in his autobiography A Writer's Capital as well as in Carol Gelderman's biography, where an account of his struggle with his mother in order to stay at Bovee and not be transferred to St Bernard is given at length.
