Authentic recording of American poet Walt Whitman's voice?

Two armed opposing camps, the True Believers, who have no doubt that the recording is the voice of the great poet and embrace it as an object deserving literary veneration, and the Naysayers or Debunkers, who just as surely know it is a base fraud, nail their certainty ultimately to the flagpole of a mere three or four documents from that year, 1992. Three written essays and one radio show. And of these four documents, three present the positives and the negatives of the case and leave the matter open. Only one of the four sources concludes unequivocally that the recording is, in the author's words, "a fascinating fraud."
