They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Actually, no, it isn't. TeX was introduced
(IIRC) in the early eighties.
And Knuth sidetracked onto it because he didn't like the way his still-
essential books on computer science had been typeset. It's actually a
real shame he never got back to continuing that series.
But he has! Volumes 1 through 3 have been completely revised and set in
TeX. I purchased them a few months ago and did a quick compare with my
original set and there are lots of improvements/changes. There is also a
commitment in them to complete the set "shortly" and AFAIR volume 4 will be
out this year...
