Some of the awkward personal details which are so deliciously expounded upon come close to character assassination. Shame on the author, going for the cheap shots. I can just imagine an exposé of the very same style used to denigrate, say, Alan Turing.
Care to elaborate and/or give examples?
For starters, Turing had a high pitched stammer, extremely yellow teeth, and noticeably dirty fingernails (even though he was often seen biting them). No doubt, a less than sympathetic investigator would have found many more such things to mention in an article about him.
And he was gay (before the word ‘gay’ meant that).
