Levivich, I'm skeptical of the appropriateness of so much background of the people involved, especially Joseph. Would you kill me if I cut it to the bone? [- EEng, shortly ago]

EEng, Nope go for it. I think the name of the immigrant should be removed, too. (It's redacted in court documents, Harvard Law Review followed suit [1], and we probably should too, even if the Old Gray Lady didn't.) When you get to the bottom there's a quotefarm waiting for you.
