Looney's Tune

"'Anonymous' offers an ingenious way to circumvent such objections: there must have been a conspiracy to suppress the truth of de Vere’s authorship; the very absence of surviving evidence proves the case.

Indeed, Mr. Emmerich has treated fact-based arguments and the authorities who make them with suspicion."
