2025 August 6, David Stubbings, “Network News: Options sought for more trains to London Gateway”, in RAIL, number 1041, page 10:Chapter 4 is nodal to the book, not simply because it stands at its very middle.

2023, Dimitris Krallis, “A New Look At Zonaras”, in Histos, volume 17:If the sexual component [in a prosecutorial case] cannot be construed, it must be constructed.

But once the sexuality has been imputed, everything that seemed normal can now be made abnormal and perverse.
