No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 22 August 1995.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3512930. Helen Demidenko's controversial book 'The Hand that Signed the Paper' causes much comment from the 'chatterati' when it wins the 1995 Miles Franklin Award .
