This article has a lot of redundancies and is pretty rambling, so I'm working on paring it down. I'm up to the section about infiltrating the KKK, which is a hot mess, and the part of the article he's most known for. There's way too much emphasis on the Freakonomics criticism, which has been solidly shot down in a number of articles in serious academic journals. My goal is to make the section more concise and include more academic sources:
