P's predominate in published papers
In this alarmingly alliterative article a paediatric professor portrays
the puzzling profusion of "p's" in published papers (p 1605). The
producer of this prose proposes that this plethora has potentially
progressed past the point of pleasure to perturbation. He ponders the
pathogenesis of this phenomenon, postulating precursors in poetic
pleasure while admitting the peskiness of the problem.
