I have to add, My2Cents, you keep asking people about the introduction: AndyZ said the quotes and lasting effect should stay.  Stillstudying has said 3 times your work is terrible and the current introduction must stay.  I have said so many times I am tired of counting that your rewrite is bad, unencyclopedic, and wreaks a fine entry into the article, which if you were allowed, you would then wreak also.  I think it clear most people don't want that, but you won't accept defeat.  Please let other people talk now - the rest of us have made our positions clear, no one is changing theirs.
