Oh, I don't know. That's really difficult. What sort of significant 
viewpoint in
a biographic article is only sourceable to one person? Oh I don't know, maybe
the subject of the biography? Wow, imagine that. Why, that's just the type of
link that started this whole thing. (If this comes across as even more
sarcastic than usual I apologize but this should be a really obvious answer).
