Hi Robert:
You may not have meant to dredge up a conundrum with your comment, but
one does have to look at the authority records before controlling to
them-- not rarely (albeit infrequently), I have had to change
already-controlled headings to other forms because the persons associated
with the bib. records were not the persons represented by the controlling
authority records.
