Sure I just pulled the 'for your eyes only' memo out of my files that specifies new industry-wide standards for bike Q-factors.
I see another memo where component manufacturers agreed to market-specific pricing, where First World customers pay more based on 'an ability to pay'.
Early in my stack here I see a cover letter from the Warren Commission summarising the first draft of their report, which concluded that President Kennedy had been killed by a drunk driver.
