080935 -            written my work, not as an essay which is to win the
080936 -            applause of the moment, but as a possession for all time."

080966 -        Thanks for information on Thucydides, in your letter today,
080967 -        shown below.  This might support a professional paper based on
080968 -        the record for 991108 that shows Thucydides toiled in his day
080969 -        persistently for transformation from orality to literacy.
080970 -        ref SDS 1 3339  This sets an agenda 2,000 years later for
080971 -        advancing to a culture of knowledge, per planning on 040102.
