He saw 2 nood representing a "perceptibly growing disquiet, misgivings or scepticisms about the candor or validity of official declarations." Marder and others see the Dominican Republic interven- tion as a prime contributor to doubts about how true officials can be. Several books have re- cently appeared covering that point.
