removed "grew up in upstate ny" ref

per http://www.pshares.org/issues/article.cfm?prmarticleID=3624

"Russell Banks grew up in the working-class environs of the Northeast. Born in 1940 in Newton, Massachusetts, he was raised in New Hampshire—principally in the town of Barnstead"

this page really needs a total rewrite —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.238.118 (talk) 05:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consider removal of redirect

Clicking on "Success Stories" (a collection of short stories), users are redirected to an entry about a Pakistani TV network. Obviously the redirect is not related to the subject and ought to be removed (which I did a couple of minutes ago without explaining--I apologize). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.199.226.114 (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
