Edit: title changed, thank you moderator.
The new title "Retired Senior Microsoft Manager Dies In Phuket" while strictly factual, removes any context relevant to recent news.
Cliff was found dead on July 1st, the same day that the SF Chronicle ran an article "Interview with NSA expert James Bamford".
A comment on the article suggests - without evidence - that Cliff and James might be brothers.
