Some weeks ago I acquired a book collecting together various writings on science; the other day I read one written in 1981 that used the word "autochthonous".  (It was an article on geology jargon, and referred to a rock that lived where it grew up.)Scalia's Hamdi "dissent" follows a quote with the notation, "(emphasis deleted)".  I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.
