...entries I found on forensic science, these two weren't even mentioned. Isn't that incredible? And yet when you go back into the period they're front-page news.

The dossier contains pictures of foreign islands and birds, and excerpts of explorers’ memoirs that have traveled to such islands. One excerpt in particular, where an explorer speaks of shooting natives, was clearly chosen to add to Meiberg’s already overdrawn sloganeering, which after listening...
