Check out NY Times yesterday for an interesting article about "JSTOR", a 
nonprofit organization dedicated to making accessible old journals for 
scholarly research.  What's interesting is the effect such research can 
have on historical accuracy and the belief that what was thought to be 
anachronistic in a certain usage or depiction may not be because of the 
potential new discoveries in the literature so scanned. Kinda goes to 
the heart of what Mr. P has turned up in places like M&D.

Librarian:  You renew the bible every time you come here, Reverend.  Why 
don't you buy a copy?
Rev. Lovejoy:  Maybe on a librarian's salary.
