With the demise of print, we're rushing headlong into that Orwellian Dept. of Truth scenario, where "published" stories are constantly revised. Remember when Time Magazine online removed Cheney's explanation of why we didn't invade Baghdad during Iraq War 1.0? Like someone somewhere said, "1984" was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual... Sigh. The future ain't what it used to be... Regards, KGB ----- Kevin G.
