This article is new enough and long enough. The sentence giving the hook facts has three citations but I can access none of them, so the facts are accepted in good faith. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:12, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

It would be hookier if you said he was arrested on suspicion of being a communist. I tried to read the snippet view in footnote 3 and wondered if this also mentions that another politician was trying to curry sexual favors from him? Yoninah (talk) 18:10, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see anything like that. --Soman (talk) 20:55, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

OK, so what about a better hook?
