:In 2005, Hugh Pearson passed away at the unexpectedly young age of 47.  He does deserve a WP page; here is some biographical info:

 :Pearson was a respected journalist with the Wall Street Journal, and his book "Shadow of the Panther" has never been challenged for factual inaccuracy.  In fact much of what he writes has been corroborated by other Panther authors, e.g. Elaine Brown in her autobiographical "Taste of Power.''  Pearson's book is quoted in this article because it remains one of the most comprehensive biographical treatments of Huey Newton. 

 :As usual you have used a meat cleaver to cut out any information that seems even mildly critical of Newton, not that any criticism was implied in Coleman's quoting from Newton's recently released handwritten letters to Schneider to support her claim that Newton and Schneider became lovers.   Schneider's financial support of Newton is very well-known, and it has been reported by others, yet even that fact has been eliminated. Perhaps Coleman's piece divulging the more romantic nature of his and Schneider's friendship at least partially explains why Newton received Schneider's unwavering support, with Schneider paying even for Newton's funeral. All eliminated...on what grounds I might ask?  Salon is hardly considered an unreliable source.
