99. Several papers concerning public policy were highly recommended
for publication by expert reviewers.  These papers were nonetheless
rejected for publication by several scholarly journals because of
journal editors' concerns about political reactions to the papers.  Thus
journals routinely reject papers on the basis of political rather than
scholarly considerations.

The argument above proceeds by

      A comparing papers accepted with papers rejected for publication  
      B disputing the scholarly expertise of the journal editors  
      C supporting a general claim by citing particular examples  
      D comparing present editorial procedures with past ones  
      E predicting the results to be expected from a general policy
