BOZ I'm not having much luck finding 3rd party coverage. Can we use the Kickstarter campaigns themselves as the source for each one that hasn't fulfilled backer promises? What is more interesting is that I did find the paperwork for Whitman getting sued in civil court in NY over one of these Kickstarter campaigns:

It would be better to use sources that cover the kickstarter campaigns, but if there are none to be found right now, then I would not worry about it for now.

Potential sources
The 2014 edition of Designers & Dragons notes that in Pyramid #25 (May/June 1997), there was an article about Traveller by Timothy Brown called "The Classic Science-Fiction Roleplaying Game Returns" that does mention Whitman. I imagine it talks about him more than just the one quote that was in the book. I will try to track down a copy of this magazine.
