Wanted resources

• Someone with JSTOR access would be a great help. I'd like a copy of the article "Bookburning and Censorship in Ancient Rome: A Chapter from the History of Freedom of Speech" by Frederick H. Cramer; Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol. 6, No. 2, pp. 157-196, which should be available through JSTOR. (Otherwise I'll have to use Subito, which costs money.) --Eloquence 23:56 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)

I just so happen to have limited JSTOR access. An email is on the way... -- Stephen Gilbert 01:13 Feb 12, 2003 (UTC)
