That wasn't real, live code.
It was just a representation of a concept.
The actual code file is a couple of hundred lines long.

But the reason why I think I need a new Publication object is because
it's a web page that lets you edit other web pages. Thus the current
object isn't the one you're editing, but rather the one you're viewing.

I (think I) want to create a new instance of the publication object,
because I'm editing a whole different publication.

I think this is called MVC - Model View Controller, but I don't know why.
