     @grork @Dhmspector
     Snopes followed AP, AP used a later edition of the book. If indeed the text only appeared in the 1st ed, as alleged, then both sources really missed the boat. Hopefully they’re getting their hands on copies of that 1st ed!

     Yup, but remember, as we are all no doubt honest people committed to strict factuality at any cost, we are obliged to respond appropriately:

     @nitpicking @inthehands @Dhmspector I find this disappointing on a number of different levels

     @inthehands @grork @Dhmspector Actually Snopes checked the first edition. It just isn't there. Also the person who faked that image admitted it.
