(-5[2])Governor William Cosby issued a formal “information” procedure (-5[1])to avoid (10[1])one of these events (10[1])that would have benefited (10[1])Lewis Morris and his satirical New York Weekly Journal. (10[1])Success in that one of these events cemented John Peter Zenger (10[3]-5[2])as (10[1])a symbol (10[4]-5[1])of freedom (10[4])of the (10[1])press. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])Increase Mather opposed using “spectral (10[1])evidence” (-5[1])to prove (10[1]-5[1])devilish (10[1])possession (10[2])over women during (10[1])what sort (10[1])of events (10[4])in Salem? ■END■ (10[11]0[3])
