Subject: follow up to disappearing Time article

Dave,

As a result of sharing the IP discussions about the disappearing Time
article in another forum, someone dug into the microfiche and passed a jpg
of the article along to me. I've put it on a web page for your perusal:

The bottom line is that, whether this was an insidious attempt at
historical revisionism or simply an assertion of intellectual property
rights, the power of the technology to give us access to information also
can deprive us of it. And if we rely on the technology completely, to the
exclusion of traditional physical media, then we can be deprived of the
information completely in the blink of an eye and potentially without a
trace...
