not entirely original on my part - consult your gzg rulebooks for
further examples, inc a great description of why tanks and towns don't
mix
(and when are we getting rules for monofilament neckchoppers?) and the
ft
timeline, which is an extract from a book.

i'd add that ft's classic 'allie nakamura woke up in hell ...' is 
substantially better than the honor harrison books ...

we can also cite (if you can cite video) the b5 ISN special, where the
story was told from the point of view of a news crew. anyway, if you can
dress up fiction as establishment media, it gets more convincing. this
is
well-known to writers of history books ...
