2016, Kristina Olsson, Eja Nilsson, Turen Går Til Sydsverige, Politikens Forlag, →ISBN:

Trods ministeriel velvilje og etableret svensk frisind (som er en realitet, trods systematisk dansk nedrakning af »Forbudssverige«) er der grænser for, hvor alternative statsligt finansierede fremtidsstudier kan være.

1984, Knud P. Pedersen, Den nordiske udfordring: Norden som alternativ, →ISBN:

»Have you noticed Dominique from the gang of four?« »The gang of four, who is that?« »Line, Anemone, Dominique and Dorte.« »Do you call them the gang of four? Damn good name.«

Alene med Firebanden – håbet var ude for ham. (...) Hænderne, der holder ham fast, løsnes lidt, fingrene begynder at blive trætte.

Alone with the Gang of Four - hope was dead to him. (...) The hands that hold him, loosen slightly, the fingers begin to tire.

Nu, da billederne var blevet offentliggjort på nettet, flyttede efterforskningens tyngdepunkt sig pludselig fra firebanden til de unge mennesker på ulykkesstedet.
