Have a teacher who is doggedly determined to ignore my polite reference that one uses ONE space after a period in modern use (or an em-space, but I don't' want to go into that...)

Need a couple good "authoritative" sources to direct the teacher to...

I've turned up the AP Style Guide and the Chicago Manual of Style, but could use a couple others!
Still Googling, but if you know a "good one" please speak up!

Many thanks!
