A classic is revisited. You will note the editors left out the entire Jimmy Stewart part of the story I related to their filmmakers.

Yeti sighting or a young Loren Coleman? You decide.
It may well be that Hillary’s purpose was to debunk the yeti’s existence. But I can tell you that when I had the opportunity to ask him in person about his belief in the creature, he was truthful. He simply replied that he could see no evidence for its existence.
And was your interview after 1960?
In the 1940s-1950s, Hillary was open to the existence of Yetis. And he was responsible for some of the evidence noting it might be there in Nepal. In 1960, during his debunking Snowman expedition, which was a cover for a spy mission against the Chinese in Tibet, he had changed his mind. I would assume that, of course, after 1960, his “party line” would be there “is no evidence for its existence.” To say otherwise would be to contradict himself.
