While researching Jay Gatsby, hero of Fitzgerald's classic, I came across this article by Allan Wood about a possible connection to a real-life Austrian baron (or, possibly, a different "poseur bootlegger").
Notice, though, that the article's no longer free; The Globe and Mail wants your dough. But Google, subversive at times, offers hope: their cached copy is right below the link. Free to all.
Thank you, Google. Thank you.
(The article's interesting, too. Literary research isn't entirely dull.)

Speaking of the all knowing Google, here's a great link:

Also, do an image search for John Kerry and Count Chocula.
I was pointed to these by a professor.
Frightening. More so that professors have that kind of free time.
.....says the teacher who tries to blog on a daily basis.
Hey, at least I try to blog about the things that really matter.
