Source Notes
PT notes that he was born in La Haye, now called Descartes. Wemyss gives the date, NS, in Modern Astrology 4/1928, no time.
(Penfield Collection quotes Barbault "who believes he had Capricorn rising," for 2:00 AM LMT. Andre Barbault in personal correspondence with LMR May 2001 writes, "Absurd! He himself said that he refused to give his hour of birth, on purpose, to frustrate astrologers.")
