date, length, close paraphrase check ok. Both original hook and ALT1 are sourced in article. QPQ still pending. But I'm not sure I get the April Fool's point completly. I get that it is supposed to make the reader think we are speaking of the Breaking Bad character, but I don't that BB is global cultural phenomenon to the level that the joke works universally (
Walter White is a dab page). With the risk of being boring I'd suggest adding "Tenesee politician" to ALT1 for clarity. --

Soman: If it can't be an April Fool's hook then I propose ALT2 "... that Walter White was a member of the prosecution for the
Scopes trial in 1925, despite not passing the
bar until 1944?"
@
Soman: I added in the QPQ.

ALT2 ok for me. Now no sentence contains both factoids, but 2 sentences in article are sourced. --
