Ah, it was unclear to me whether we'd reverted to talk about the article, but the duplication of 19 years answers that.

In any case, I guess-- it's complicated. We have this guy who was seemingly a different person for nearly 35 years, but then reverted to do something terrible (and similar to things he had done in the past) when it all threatened to come crashing down. And the other guy who was someone different for 19 years.
