Despite the title of the blog post, the poster's gripe isn't really with Wikipedia; it's with a book that came out in 1973.
Tom Clark of course isn't living today, though he was in 1973. FYI, the veracity of the disputed quotation by Truman about Clark has been debated by Supreme Court historians for years. This is not a new issue by any means.
