Backing and filling on Against the Day...and for Master of Petersburg plist readers

[Mark Kohut]

I learned that Archduke Ferdinand, late of AtD, was assassinated by a 
"romantic" who learned from the Russian Nihilist real-life group written of in D's "The Possessed" and Conrad's "Under Western Eyes" [and "The Master of Petersburg"].

When asked before his death, whether he regretted Assassinating Ferdinand
and started a world war, said, "If I had not done it, The Germans would have found another excuse."...

The historian who quoted that, Norman Stone, basically agreed.
