What is Mens et Manus?

Library story - This link (now at archive.org) used to be good, until the MIT library apparently took Philip Greenspun's sarcastic advice (older version now at archive) seriously:
"Final Tip
Reorganize your file system after you're listed in all the Web directories, after folks at other sites have linked to articles on your server, and after search engines have discovered your sites. That way users will be sure to get "404 Not Found" messages after finding your site in Yahoo or WebCrawler."
The Library story can currently be found here (now at archive) and here (from archive.org, for another one broken, as of 8/10/2002 or earlier)
Museum story
Short story
Long story - which is notably the only one of these links not broken one of the last couple links broken since first linked in May '01 (as of August '04), except for Greenspun's, which was revised from the original without breaking.

Quote of the moment
The chief problem is, of course, whether the marching of the general spirit of things is heading consciously or sub- consciously toward an idea of extension of boundaries.
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. letter, January 8, 1934, to Ambassador John Cudahy in Warsaw, PPF 1193, John Cudahy Folder. Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. Edward M. Bennett, Recognition of Russia: An American Foreign Policy Dilemma, p. 86, Ginn/Blaisdell (1970).

This was in response to a letter from Ambassador Cudahy of December 27, 1933, in which Cudahy said that there was no cause for alarm about the paramilitary organizations forming in Germany as this was a peculiar manifestation of the German social spirit wherein Germans like to put on uniforms and march around to martial music to let off steam. He compared the SS and SA to Elks, Eagles and Woodmen in the United States. FDR implied that he believed that when Germans put on uniforms and marched around to martial music, they often marched across someone’s borders. ~
