Yet another gem. I believe humans' need to express themselves slightly exceeds their need to prevent others from doing so.

This one was a challenge. I saw a tiny ref. to it in a book and the King had so many variant names. I finally found that the newspaper had a feature (in Swedish) so I used the translate function (awkward) but then I was able to go to the newspaper's Wikipedia page and add the information. So as I go through these I've been adding new facts about censorship to Wikipedia. There wasn't even much on the Swedish Wikipedia. But if I can pin down a new fact I can add to Wikipedia so...double the fun. I am giving used bookstores a work out because I have to see the sources. I've also been adding sources to this substack's main page. The librarian training won't allow me not to have footnotes. Which I know you do, too.
