Since your request really doesn't much involve Emacs, try asking on
comp.text.tex for further help.  They maintain a FAQ document that may
be of interest.  I've redirected followups that-a-way.

You can get TeX sources via anonymous FTP from labrea.stanford.edu in
pub/tex.  The directory pub/tex/unix3.0 probably contains what you
want, but see pub/tex/README to be sure.  The most recent incarnation
of the LaTeX macros are in labrea:pub/tex/latex.  If you'd like to
support TUG and/or don't have access to the Internet, then write to
elisabet@max.acs.washington.edu about getting their tape distribution.

   If I can't get LaTeX I may be forced to use Apple products to write
   my papers.

Gads!  The unthinkable :-)
