I have the 1990 edition of the book but certain stuff seem to have been added. A postscript is supposedly present at Pg:- 392-394; which covers Anuj Dhar. Also, certain stuff about Mukherjee Commission seem to have been added, which (prob.) can be located from the index. Please dispatch the concerned pages.
Happy New Year, RXers!
GBooks says that on p.441 there's stuff about one
Thomas de la More (and a bloke called Egremont). Would it be possible to get this and a couple of pages either side? If anyone's feeling even more generous, a glance at the index to see if de la MOre (or Delamore) has any other mentions would be eve kinder :) hopeful thanks in advance!

Eugrus, (1) There are various institutions worldwide that hold copies of this work. (2) Many university libraries have some sort of scan-to-pdf service for their members. That doesn't mean they already have an electronic copy, it means someone has to physically make the copy from the original. (That is different from the situation where, say, an institution provides an electronic copy of a thesis submitted to that institution that is only accessible to its members and inaccessible to anybody else in the world.) (3) Essentially, by your logic ("notifying everyone with that alma mater"), we could ping thousands of users on any given day since they are/used to be affiliated with institutions that hold a copy of a requested work. I doubt that is a desirable use of this page. —

I understand WMF cannot officially endorse, but if anyone in the real world would tell me they don't use it because "there are legal and ethical issues", it would be a first, I repeat, I have yet to meet a scholar who actually follows that line unofficially. Officially, on record, sure, but in practice, when doing research and such, the only people whom I know not to use LG are those who have not heard of it. From the ethical perspective, each and every scholar I queried (and that includes a number of senior tenured faculty, not just grads) felt morally and ethically justified as they consider Elsevier and such parasites profiteering from their work. As for the legal perspective practice? Roll eyes, moves on. Anyway, just my two cents. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Does this paywalled NY Times story say Katherine Stinson was an architect, or a home designer?
The headline of this article says the subject (
Katherine Stinson) was an architect. However, the article was recently edited to say that, although she was trained by an architect, she actually worked as a home designer.
This new edit is suspect because it contradicts the headline of the article, but I am unable to confirm what the body of the article says because it is behind a paywall.
Can someone with a
New York Times subscription look at this article and tell me what it actually says about Katherine Stinson? It is, IMO, important to see what the source says, and to describe it faithfully in the article, especially since Stinson was noted for challenging cultural norms about what women could or couldn't do.
