Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 45-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, television and affiliates providing the first useful test.
