In the book, my grandfather added a bunch of newspaper articles to add context. Most of them are in the public domain or from long defunct. But a couple aren't and I'm trying to track down permissions to keep them in the book. I have one article from the AP that was written in 1942. It's about 300 words. They want $350 for me to use it. Originally, it was going to be $1850, but the man likes Veterans and is doing me a favor. $350 is about 20% of what I'm getting for the entire book. I can't imagine the man who wrote it almost 80 years ago received more than ten bucks for his efforts.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
