Abstract: Abstract Walter Karplus once observed “All technical writing should self-destruct after five years.” On first reading that would seem a puzzling statement coming from one who himself was such an important contributor to the technical literature in his field. But knowing Walter, we understand now that he was only paying tribute to the speed with which advances in technology are being made, and not referring to archival-class material.
