Sorry, his surname is spelled “Curtin” in the NAR and in the CV. He should not be confused with the decorative window covering.

According to the CV of Richard T. Curtain (https://www.src.isr.umich.edu/cv/cv_curtin.pdf) he his associated with the title in the 1st 670 Fertility change after the baby boom (see page 57 of CV) and the title in the 2nd 670, Income equity among U.S. workers (see page 10 of the CV) so you should neither created 2 NARs for this one person nor should you ask to have this NAR deleted.
I have updated the authority record to cite the CV so no one will think that there are 2 different people represented.

Subject: [PCCLIST] NAR n 92028168
Dear Collective Wisdom,
My apologies to the list, because I am fairly certain that a similar question has been asked recently, but I cannot find it, nor the answer.
NAR n 92028168 is labeled as a record for a unique heading, but in fact has two different persons listed on it. It may be that the cataloger who added the second title really thought that it was by the same person as the first, but it is not. So, should I treat this as if it were an undifferentiated heading, and create two new NARs, one for each person on the record, and ask for this one to be deleted? I believe the answer is yes, but I cannot remember with certainty. The other option, of course, would be to remove the incorrect information, leave the correct information as it was originally, and create a new record for the second author.
Thank you for your patience, and your replies.
Michael
