Your article states that Ariel Durant received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Gerald Ford at the age of sixty-one. Given that Ford was president from 1974 to 1977, and that elsewhere the date of that incident is given as 1977, Ariel Durant (born 1898) would have been seventy-nine on that occasion.
