This is a statement that seems to be in need of more precision. Timl appears to be using the statement in the meaning of "...not be a total eclipse of longer duration...", yet there is no context given regarding what the duration was in the US (only Mexico). The only reference to the US had been with regards to the path, therefore it is easy to interpret "longer" as a reference to distance, in which case the 2017 eclipse will have a longer path of totality across the US.
A change needs to be made to fix this ambiguity. If we want the statement to say that there won't be a longer duration eclipse, then let's specify that word, along with what the actual duration in 1970 was within the US.-- Concord hioz ( talk) 07:13, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
