May 2014 Wolfe interview in _Technology Review_

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

That's the plant.  It's white and without comfort because the drug is 
used up.  Then they wait until sufficient time has passed for safety, 
and take more of the plant.

Why do you say Marsch is switched, rather than replaced?  The new Marsch 
says "I needed to make my voice like his and look older". And the old 
Marsch was bitten by the cat, not by Victor...
