money, to obtain the material if he's determined to find it, and the
source must be a published, citable one, not something circulated
within a limited group of people.
Is the December 18, 1857 morning edition of [[The New York Times]] an
acceptable source? It's rather hard to find a copy of it these days.
How about the [[ISO 9000]] standard? The International Standards
Organization charges thousands of dollars for access to it.
