TRENTON - As today's Assembly vote approaches on legislation to give people
easier access to school and government records, last-minute attempts to kill
the bill are getting the cold shoulder from legislative leaders.
In letters Wednesday to all Assembly members, Rutgers University said it is
important to keep information secret, especially if it could affect
research, scare away donors or expose details of faculty negotiations. And
the League of Municipalities, in a separate letter, said protection of the
public's privacy is "a justifiable national concern."

A U.S. Environmental Protection Agency attorney has pleaded guilty to
contempt of court after lying about documents involved in a federal lawsuit
over Indian tribes' authority to regulate reservation water quality.
Marc Radell, 41, entered his plea to the misdemeanor charge this week before
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman.
Radell and co-defendant Claudia Johnson, 36, who was an environmental
specialist with the agency, were indicted in August. Johnson has since died.

A Historian presents the Civil War, Online and Unfiltered by historians
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/00/06/circuits/articles/29ayer.html

by Jeffrey R. Young
Was the American Civil War inevitable? Many popular histories, like the epic
television documentary by Ken Burns, portray the conflict as an unavoidable
corrective that rid a great nation of slavery. But people of the 1850's and
1860's didn't see the issues leading up to the war that clearly. According
to letters, diaries, newspapers and other records, many Northerners of the
period expressed support or sympathy for slavery, and many on both sides
longed for a compromise.
"I do not believe that Providence has raised up this nation to such
greatness and glory, to throw it away," a Southerner, Capt. Samuel Brown
Coyner, wrote on Jan. 4, 1861. Months later, however, Captain Coyner was
fighting for the Confederacy.

WASHINGTON -- Inside the entrance of the National Archives rotunda, a
tourist line gathers near a grand bronze and marble ovoid container .
Encased in the container is a huge brown document shielded by glass and
surrounded by a green hue. Its handwritten print is fading; only a few
words, ``In Congress. July 4, 1776,'' are legible.
The document is the original Declaration of Independence.

Burial ground: Students raise funds for restoration
http://www.bergen.com/bne/graves200006292.htm

by Richard Cowen
History has come alive for fourth-graders at Luther Lee Emerson School in
the 18th century burial ground on Everett Road.
Michelle Supper's fourth-grade social studies students have spent much of
the year learning about the history of Demarest -- a class trip through time
that led them to the little cemetery known as Sautjes Tave's Begraven
Ground.
The plot, which dates to 1733, contains the remains of the first Dutch
settlers -- with familiar names such as Bogert, Westervelt, and of course
Demarest -- who played prominent roles in the history of Bergen County.
