Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1961, 1923, 1939, 1935—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1961. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Texas, State and Highway providing the first useful test.

Critical limits

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
