Fresh copies of news and articles go onto the frontpage for their traditional,
temporary stay in the public eye.
All this does not obviate the need for permanent static archives. Yesterday, we
were looking for a NYT article two or three years old. An important article. It
had gone to Niffleheim. Well, presumably they have it still on microfiche ...
