There is one sentence component that you can use to add some variety but you may need to amend your sentence start to make use of it. The field [FirstHeShe] will use the person's first name in a first sentence then will use He or She depending on gender for a second, it will then alternate back and forth between the first name and the He or She.
If you changed your sentence to [FirstHeShe] was mentiioned in a newspaper article... then you would have some variety in the sentences for multiple mentions.
