The URL is accurate, but notice that in Tony's msg the entire URL failed
to convert to a live link.
If you will paste in the whole thing, it will work.
Or you can click on it and delete backwards to "features/" and then
click it, and you will see the features page on which the article is
prominently displayed.

Sorry - was told "couldn't find page displayed". Do you have to be
subscriber to the /Independent/? Thanks for trying.

Today's [London] Independent newspaper has an article by Michael Church:
'The truth about maps: How cartographers distort reality. As a
fascinating new exhibition shows, it's not always what they put in
that matters - but what they leave out'
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/the-truth-about-maps-how-
cartographers-distort-reality-1922806.html
Forming part of the build-up to the 'Magnificent Maps' exhibition in
the British Library from 30 April, this is full of thought-provoking
- and no doubt controversial - quotations from Peter Barber.
This is going to be one of those exhibition that really needs to be
seen, both for the chosen objects and as much for the new
interpretations placed on them.
