“Google Print For Libraries Proves Challenging: Details, details-such is the Achilles’ Hell of the visionary temperament. When Google put forth a massive online literary digitization effort, the scholar, the literati, the purist self-educator, the mousey, bucked-toothed, four-eyed little girl in all of us cheered the soon-to-be nearer reach of all those words. But visions, especially the grandiose, face the speed bumps, the hurdles, of real world logic-or worse, lawyers.” [emphasis added]

I see their point, but I think that happens with any project as huge as this and involving intellectual property. Without the visionary temperament this kind of thing would never even get started! Thank goodness for the rank and file workers who make projects HAPPEN! :-)
