Addendum II: attributions
Newspaper quotes are taken verbatim from The San Francisco Chronicle and The Times of London. The erratic spelling of newspapers, noted by Miss Russell herself, is preserved in her excerpts: Nurnberg is elsewhere Nuernberg, Leipzig appears as Leipsic, Alcatraz ends in an –s, Asilomar is given as Asilmar, etc.
