Re: inherent vice
What a great term, Lee! It sounds a lot like "original sin," and we all
know what a faulty vessel we have in paper!

Subject: inherent vice
I'm trying to find a citation for the term "inherent vice," the quality of
paper that causes it to self-destruct. I've checked the Bellardo and Harrod
glossaries and cannot find a reference to it. I thought it was a not
uncommon archival term, but now am wondering where I picked it up. Any
leads?
Thanks, Lee
