  • Date, hook, length and source all check out. — Hunter Kahn 01:15, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Promoter's note: Ross moved the program to Ohio State starting summer 1964 and had a stroke in 2000 that prevented him from running it from then on, so forty years at OSU is clearly inaccurate, but he ran the program for over forty years. (Not to mention that it went to the University of Chicago for four years in the 1970s.) So I've struck the "at OSU" part of the hook, in order to promote the article and hook in DYK.
