[edit]It is important to distinguish him from his son, Kenneth MacLean Glazier (Harvard Student Strike), who is a California attorney, known as "Kenneth M. Glazier" or "Kenneth MacLean Glazier" ([2], [3]) although there are instances of Kenneth M. Glazier Sr. being referred to as such following his son's birth.
