40 years ago today - Fall 1976.

Paul Toscano learns that he is blacklisted from publication in the Ensign. Pursuing inquiries through his bishop and stake president, he is informed by Mission Representative Hershel Pederson, a personal acquaintance, that Elder Mark E. Petersen thinks Toscano is part of a secret organization to restore the "Council of Fifty" and the First Quorum of Seventy. Eventually the stake president tells him the matter is resolved.
