Well, the final ascendence of Amper's *and* put an end to the great
typography wars of the sixteenth century. Gray's *and*, "Cooper's *and* and all of the
other now-proscribed ands were driven underground, where, it is said, to this day they
occasionally surface, inexplicably finding their way onto some official state document or
international treaty, with no one quite sure how they got there . . .
