Notes
- The October 22, 1912 / March 15, 1999 day-month tokens are corroborated independently by Britannica (src-britannica-callahan, fetched 2026-05-19): “born October 22, 1912, Detroit, Michigan” / “died March 15, 1999, Atlanta, Georgia.” Two-source agreement promotes these tokens above pointer-only status.
