Oh, George... would you guys be in trouble in my class. I used to
photocopy the first two pages of term papers, and keep them. Amazingly,
sometimes I'd see 'em again a couple of years later. And finque that
I am, I'd randomly check references to see if the paper actually said
what the citation said it said. Scotched a couple of professorial
job applicants hopes and aspirations that way.
