Length is good, age is good. Sources are all offline, though ancillary searches tend to bear out the hook. Hook is cited in the body though not in the lede, and is short enough and interesting. Image looks ok small and is PD due to age. Hook and article nicely neutral. Crow^Talk 23:57, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
