A subject’s suspicion of suppression proved Christophersen’s pamphlet resistant to editing

Evidence

One of the subjects, noticing that pages were missing (they contained the photograph of several overlapping pages of the Red Cross report), accused me of “suppressing the information in the pamphlet” that would prove Christophersen correct. It was vital, he told me, “to present the whole story.” — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 4340
