How Crazy Was It?

What was said, in the context it was said in

A clip is not an argument. Each record here carries the surrounding exchange, a dated source, and the current position of the same speaker or institution.

Clips are published only with a licence, a publisher-authorised embed, or a sourced still with transcript. Records awaiting clearance are listed but not shown.
