...department of cognition and neurobiology which would unite professors from the sciences with those involved in the arts and humanities. The possibilities are endless. The idea of reshuffling the decks has considerable appeal. But here’s the conundrum: the act of forming new institutions does not, ipso facto, solve the problem of institutional exhaustion.

...explicitly nationalist component. No object that has become part of the French museum system can ever be sold, since it has officially become French patrimony.

But it wasn't there on the first edition; so the first appearance of "A Contract with God" did not, ipso facto, inaugurate the use of the term "graphic novel." The term "graphic novel," as it applies to the "long form comic book," was originally coined in November 1964 by Richard Kyle in a newsletter circulated to all members of the Amateur Press Association. The term was subsequently modified and used...
