All of the new material below the lede paragraph has been brought in from the Wikipedia article about Campbell. However, before leaving WP around May of '07, I had worked extensively on the Campbell article. Much, although not all, of the article up through March 3, 2007, or thereabouts was mine. Specifically, the section "Through other's eyes", as inserted here, was 100% my text. Also, I provided all of the Sources. I will comment on each new section as I add them.
