A Justice Department task force probing FBI corruption has dug up old 
documents ``highly relevant'' to an aging Mob foot soldier's bid to prove his 
innocence in a 1968 murder, attorneys told a Middlesex judge yesterday. 
John Durham of the FBI's special task force would not say what the documents 
contain, but he has told both sides in the case involving Peter Limone that 
his office will offer attorneys the information next week.

IBM chief warns that privacy abuses could stifle e-commerce

IBM chairman and CEO Louis Gerstner said Tuesday that the Internet should 
lead to more outsourcing by companies as a way to increase business, but not 
at the expense of personal privacy. 
Speaking at the eBusiness Conference and Expo in New York, Gerstner said 
Internet taxation and protection of intellectual property are important 
topics, but consumers remain concerned about keeping their information 
private. 
"Through our policies and practices, industry has to send an unambiguous 
message that tells people: 'You can trust us. You have choices. They will be 
respected. And you'll know in advance how any information you give us will be 
used,' " Gerstner said.

Lincoln - J.J. Exon, who built his formidable political reputation with a 
firm handshake, a hearty laugh and impeccable street smarts, is not hiding 
his U.S. Senate papers in some musty library vault. 
The online Exon Library Foundation will be formally clicked into action today 
by the former two-term Nebraska governor and three-term U.S. senator during a 
5:30 p.m. reception at the Exon Center, 985 S. 27th St. 
To no one's surprise, the correspondence shows that colleagues and presidents 
frequently scratched out the formal salutation of "Dear Sen. Exon," to write 
"Jim."

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - A Manhattan gallery owner paid more than half a million 
dollars at Sotheby's on Wednesday for two Thomas Jefferson manuscripts, one 
of which was featured on the PBS show ''Antiques Roadshow.'' 
Seth Kaller of Kaller's America Gallery paid $280,750 for a 15-page document 
from 1817 outlining Jefferson's ideas for a public school system including 
the University of Virginia and $225,750 for a 1783 handwritten letter and 
deed sent to Philadelphia historian Ebenezer Hazard. 
The Hazard letter was appraised on ''Antiques Roadshow'' in Columbus, Ohio, 
in August of 1999, said Lauren Gioia, a spokeswoman for Sotheby's. Both 
letters were sold by descendants of the original recipients, Gioia said.

by Ralph Ranalli
In a move that caught lawyers by surprise, a US Justice Department official 
said yesterday that documents recently unearthed at FBI headquarters in 
Washington, D.C., may shed light on whether a reputed associate of the Boston 
Mafia was framed for a 35-year-old murder. 
The documents were uncovered by federal prosecutor John Durham, who is 
spearheading a probe of the FBI's controversial informant relationships with 
gangsters James ''Whitey'' Bulger and Stephen J. Flemmi, said Suffolk 
Assistant District Attorney Mark T. Lee.

government database

by Sean Gordon
A third employee at Quebec's car insurance board has been disciplined for 
illegally accessing a confidential drivers' license database. 
Transport Minister Guy Chevrette confirmed in the National Assembly yesterday 
that a man working in a 
data-processing unit at the Societe d'Assurance Automobile du Quebec was 
arrested after digging up information on his ex-wife. 
"The third mole that we're talking about here is a case that's under 
investigation that has no link of any sort with organized crime. It's an 
individual who is divorced who was looking for his wife," he said.

Santa Claus arrived early at Kelco Inc. yesterday, when federal investigators 
returned two truckloads of records taken from the Lexington company seven 
months ago. 
The haul totaled ``well over 300 boxes of documents ... a little more than 
half'' of the 606 boxes seized in the May 19 raid, said Bob Webb, attorney 
for Kelco. 
``These are the first originals we have received,'' although copies of key 
records were given earlier to Kelco, Webb said. ``We are delighted to get 
them back.''

Flaherty mentions destroying Bernardo videotapes

TORONTO (CP) -- The time is fast approaching when sex killer Paul Bernardo's 
notorious sex-and-torture videotapes will finally be destroyed, says 
Ontario's attorney general. 
Jim Flaherty said Wednesday that the tapes -- which depict Bernardo and 
ex-wife Karla Homolka raping and torturing murdered teens Kristen French and 
Leslie Mahaffy -- will not be kept forever. 
"It's the wish of the families of the victims, and we want to reflect that 
wish eventually, when it's clear the tapes would serve no further purpose to 
the administration of justice," Flaherty told The Canadian Press.
