Wikipedia. I will close this brief note with something that may or may not be true:
In the olden days, newspapers were printed on good paper. Supposedly, sometimes
when The Times arrived at the homes of rich and powerful people, the butler would
press the pages with a hot iron to make sure that the pages were perfectly flat!!!
I do not dare write more. The moderators want us to discuss only "in a class of its/his/
her own."
