I've found on Wikipedia, let alone the best
biography. I want to know
what the editors of that article did that the
editors of [[Jane Fonda]] didn't.
Oppenheimer is a world-renowned scientist, whos life
is closed, and who's book can be written with both
bookends in place.
Gates and Fonda on the other hand are contemporary
personalities --each of whom have their feet in both
superficial (Gates' ego, Fonda's workouts, etc.) and
relevant worlds (Big business, principled protests,
etc.).
When I edited the JF article, I had a chuckle at how
crappy the bio section was. I did my part (should have
seen it before :P) with the parts I was interested in,
and left the trivial bits to someone interested in
those things. The bio section was so bad as to be *too
hard* to edit in my tired state when I happened to be
looking it. I did put in on my to-do list though
--somewhere after cleaning the bus stop toilet and
giving the cat a bath.
