  Title: Bouwfonds
  Passage: Bouwfonds is an international real estate company and one of the largest in the Netherlands.  The company was established in 1946, just after the Second World War, as local government property developer with the aim to help working-class people buy their own home.  In 2000 it was sold to ABN Amro.  According to a recent report from the Dutch daily "De Volkskrant" the circumstances under which the privatization took place constitute an economic scandal.  As the report claims " (...) Bouwfonds staff leaked documents to ABN Amro CEO Rijkman Groenink.  These included confidential details about a bid by ING, allowing ABN Amro to trump the offer." .  Since December 2006, Bouwfonds has been part of Rabo Real Estate Group.

  Title: Falklands War
  Passage: The Falklands War (Spanish: "Guerra de las Malvinas" ), also known as the Falklands Conflict, Falklands Crisis, South Atlantic Conflict, and the "Guerra del Atlántico Sur" (Spanish for "South Atlantic War"), was a ten-week war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over two British overseas territories in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.  It began on Friday, 2 April 1982, when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands (and, the following day, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands) in an attempt to establish the sovereignty it had claimed over them.  On 5 April, the British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force before making an amphibious assault on the islands.  The conflict lasted 74 days and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, returning the islands to British control.  In total, 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three Falkland Islanders died during the hostilities.

  Title: The Cigarette Papers
  Passage: The Cigarette Papers is a 1996 non-fiction book by Stanton A. Glantz (editor), John Slade (editor), Lisa A. Bero (editor), Peter Hanauer (editor), Deborah E. Barnes (editor), and C. Everett Koop (Foreword), analyzing leaked documents that for the first time proved "tobacco companies had long known the grave dangers of smoking, and did nothing about it."  In May 1994, 4,000 pages of internal tobacco industry documents were sent to the office of Professor Stanton Glantz, a well-known anti-smoking activist, at the University of California, San Francisco.  The source of these "cigarette papers" was identified only as Mr. Butts.  The documents provide an inside look at the internal activities of American tobacco company, Brown & Williamson, over more than 30 years.
  Title: 1940: Myth and Reality
  Passage: 1940: Myth and Reality (ISBN  ) is a controversial 1990 book by Clive Ponting and published by Hamish Hamilton.  It is a revisionist history of the Second World War, particularly the divergences between the rhetoric and the reality in relation to popular British narratives.  The revisionism is different from that of, for example, "'The Battle of Britain: Myth and Reality", a 2000 book by Richard Overy, and draws different (arguably more pessimistic) conclusions.  The book caused a minor sensation when published, but few of the revelations were new, most having been published in other books in the previous 21 years.
  Title: Spy Cables
  Passage: The Spy Cables are a series of leaked documents from global intelligence agencies that were published by Al Jazeera and "The Guardian" in 2015.

  Title: World Jewish Congress lawsuit against Swiss banks
  Passage: The World Jewish Congress lawsuit against Swiss banks was launched to retrieve deposits made into Swiss banks by victims of Nazi persecution during and prior to World War II.  Initiated in 1995 as WJC negotiations with both the Swiss government and its banks over burdensome proof-of-ownership requirements for accounts, strong support from United States politicians and leaked documents from a bank guard pressured a settlement in 1998 in a U.S. court for multiple classes of people affected by government and banking practices.  As of 2015, $1.28 billion USD has been disbursed for 457,100 claimants.
