Congrats on the Torkelson article. I haven't read it yet -- can you post the link?
My research, including some fairly significant "just in" info, potentially fills in the parts of your story that you suggest don't make sense, including the erroneous date of Julian's birthday party and their reasons for wanting to buy the island in the first place. (I highly doubt it had anything at all to do with the political situation in Vietnam or elsewhere.) I won't drop it here because it requires too much context, but I may write more about the Greek trip in the podcast then I'd originally intended.
