Markoff and fact checking redux redux

I may have been incorrect about Alan Kay and Doug Engelbart and I will submit a post concerning this after I have a chance, tomorrow, to visit the Hong Kong library and consult its copy of the ACM proceedings on a software history conference a few years ago, in which Alan Kay identified Engelbart's 1968 demo of his GUI as seminal!

However, I remain very concerned about Markoff's errors including the "1950 Peace Corps", "French Canadian Peasants", and Wirth.
