We will try to enhance understanding of the collection by providing information about the site where they were found, the intellectual and physical history of the collection, and the contents of the papyri contained in it. An interesting facet of the collection is that the Tebtunis Papyri contain many related groups of texts, which can either be traced back to actual archives, or can be collected to form small dossiers. Since texts in context can provide more information than singular texts, we have presented texts belonging to such archives and dossiers as far as they have been established and analyzed. If Schroeder and the AAP have their way, the balance will be gone, and we'll be living in a world that no one concerned about the principles of either political freedom or publishing in a democratic society wants to see. If librarians stand by and let it happen, we'll deserve all the bad press we get.
Holes appear in victims' brains, then they become demented and die.
The diseases are not caused by a virus or a bacterium, but by a mysterious type of twisted protein, known as a 'prion'. The prion can propagate itself by causing other proteins to twist into the same shape. Prions can be passed on by eating the flesh of another animal, and are resistant to cooking and digestion. A theory about how prions are formed suggests that organophosphate pesticides could be partly to blame. Two people have already died defending this theory, apparently at the hands of professional assassins working either for the British government or the chemical industry.
