The Daily Princetonian covers the Forbes Smiley case in like manner to the University of Chicago Maroon (see previous entry), by using the case to focus on concerns about rare-book and special-collection security in libraries.

Meanwhile, through MapHist I learn that the case is the subject of an article in the New Yorker, which is not online, so I’ll have to pick up a copy when I’m in town tomorrow; and that the case was referred to in a Prairie Home Companion skit last Saturday (the page for last Saturday’s broadcast is here; I haven’t gone through it yet, though).
