From the Toledo Free Press:
James Taylor has six children, including a 3-year-old who has cerebral palsy. He pays child support for all of them — without a steady income because he hasn’t secured a job.

Michael Miller closes the book on Thurber-gate 2009 with an interesting article in the Toledo Free Press.
Apparently there were two other instances of plagiarism by the author in question.
"Toledo Free Press paid for an audit of its content going back 24 months, checking a sampling of each contributor’s work. That investigation revealed two more instances — Dec. 21, 2007 and Dec. 19, 2008 — in which Thurber failed to cite a source. Those articles have been amended online."
