Return of the Collyer Brothers
From the New York Times:A picture caption on July 5 about the cluttered Harlem brownstone in which the brothers Homer and Langley Collyer were found dead in 1947 misstated the departmental affiliation of an unidentified inspector shown pointing to a stairway piled high with boxes and newspapers. He worked for the Police Department, not the Fire Department. The inspector was identified when the same picture was published on Dec. 31, 2003, with an article in some copies about the pathology of compulsive hoarders. But the caption with that picture misspelled his surname. He was Thomas V. Boylan, not Boyland. (Go to Article)
