Good catch! Paul

I shall blame my error on a misremembering of what was written on the
snopes website.

I read the article and do remember seeing that it occurred on the 1974
campaign trail, but when typing the posting out came the 2000 date which
was when snopes collected it from the internet.

excellent point. Carlson was a very interesting fellow and the founder of
Carlson's Raiders. Speaking of which a number of mine in Houston was a
member of that unit.
