The war[edit]

What did he do during WWII?--24.210.221.242 (talk) 21:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Education[edit]

I believe he went to Cornell for undergrad and Harvard for graduate school (HBS??) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.118.149 (talk) 04:47, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source cited in re the weinermobile does NOT indicate that the subject traveled with it, or Little Oscar, does it?

AP reports that he married Fitzpatrick in 1999, when he was 85, and she was TWENTY ONE. 12.5.63.107 (talk)PBd —Preceding undated comment added 17:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Little Oscar[edit]

What's the appropriate term for Little Oscar? Midget/Dwarf/Little person? As the article midget mentions, they're not always considered to be synonymous, and some, like "midget", may have pejorative connotations. Perhaps instead we should let the as-yet-nonexistent Little Oscar article cover his stature, and simply use "mascot", "spokesperson", or "character" in this article. -- 128.104.112.87 (talk) 19:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
