Note:
(a) Mark E Kelly. NASA, undated.

(Organization: Fellow of the National Committee on U.S. China Relations)

He was born in 1964, making him 46 years old.

(b) The VOA report states, "美国之音2006年采访过凯利，他谈到了他到中国参加美中杰出青年领导人论坛的经历。

New York Times every Sunday publishes for free "Weddings and Announcements" and select one couple to give a VIP treatment. Here is

Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly, New York Times (NYT), Dec 2, 2007.

("'We met four years ago in China, as young leaders selected by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations,' said Ms. Giffords")

(i) Robert B. Reich was Secretary of Labor in the first Clinton administration.
(ii) The VOA report states, "他们两人2004年在中国相遇." But NYT said in 2007 that "'We met four years ago in China" when it was 2003. The sequence of teh events in NYT is more convincing.
(iii) The VOA report is also mistaken when it reported, "40岁的吉福兹6年前当选国会议员." It is well known that the congresswoman was first elected in 2006.

(vii) For Capra-corn, see Frank Capra
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Capra
(1897-1991; Capra films usually carry a definite message about the basic goodness of human nature and show the value of unselfishness and hard work. His wholesome, feel-good themes have led some to term his style Capra-corn, but those who hold his vision in high regard prefer the term Capraesque)

* The "corn" is derived from

corny (adj):
"2: of or relating to corn
3: mawkishly old-fashioned : tiresomely simple and sentimental <told corny jokes>"
