Considering the contrast between CBS Textual Criticism being historically dominated by Greek External evidence and the offending word here having only one extant Greek witness (an oddie but a goodie), it is reMarkable that NRSV (admittedly the best English translation) gives a favorable footnote to it. There are also quite a few English translations that give the offending word a likely original status. Progress:
New Revised Standard Version
1:41The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is an English translation of the Bible published in 1989 by the National Council of Churches. It is a revision of the Revised Standard Version, which was itself an update of the American Standard Version.[2]

Mahmoud Abbas does Dylan Thomas:
"Do not resist gently into that good fight.
Old age should burn and rave (and stash billions) at close of sixteen year and counting term.
Rage, rage, against, against, well against whatever the news of the day is."
Mark 1:41
