Graceland will be home to Korean War papers

by Colleen Krantz
It began as a pile of letters, military documents and photographs that
irritated Paul Edwards' wife.
More than a decade later, the clutter in Edwards' Missouri home has grown
into the Center for the Study of the Korean War.
Graceland College in Lamoni, where Edwards once taught, has won the rights
to the collection, which now fills 1,000 feet of shelving.
"We never expected this," said Edwards, 67. "Once we got started, it just
kind of snowballed, and we kept collecting and it got even bigger."

Churchill's gov't urged Vatican to end support for Hitler - papers

by Douglas Davis
LONDON (May 29) - Ministers acting for wartime leader Winston Churchill
appealed to Britain's leading Roman Catholic family to persuade the Vatican
to abandon its support for Hitler, according to previously unpublished
papers.
The 1940 documents, which were found at the Public Records Office, show that
ministers asked Lord Fitzalan, uncle of the then-duke of Norfolk, to urge
the pope to denounce the Nazis and support the Allied cause.


Capitol Alert 5/29/00
Irony replete in duel with Legislature over documents

Associated Press
SACRAMENTO (AP) -- In a supreme irony of Capitol politics, Insurance
Commissioner Charles Quackenbush is now demanding documents from the same
legislative office that fruitlessly demanded documents from him during a
bitter fraud probe of the Insurance Department.
The turnaround stems from an attempt by the Republican commissioner, who
faces four investigations, to find a paper trail showing he is the victim of
a Democratic political vendetta targeting his campaign finances and his
handling of insurers' settlements.

Green light for cyber signatures
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2000/05/28/stimonnws01020.html

THE biggest barrier to seamless transactions on the web was lifted last week
when electronic signatures became legal, paving the way for truly paperless
applications and purchases, writes Sarah Toyne.
The electronic communications bill was given royal assent on Thursday. From
July, any documents signed over the internet will be recognised legally by
the courts.

Congress uncertain on MLK papers
http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000520/11/king-papers

by Jeffrey McMurray
WASHINGTON (AP) - Two experts advising Congress on whether to pay $20
million for Martin Luther King's post-1960 papers have reached conflicting
conclusions, further clouding the issue for lawmakers.
An appraiser of historical documents found the material "absolutely
stupendous" and a bargain. King's Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer
determined the documents and artifacts were of little research value and
hardly worth becoming the Library of Congress' most expensive purchase.
