RAIN 03/15: Mozart found!, Washington saved!, Aroostook reunion, Found on eBay



Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 03/14/01
Editorial: Arkansas, police state?
http://www.ardemgaz.com/week/Wed/edi/wnwedit0314.html

It's almost comforting to denounce sordid little police states like Fidel
Castro's. It can be done at a safe distance with considerable moral
satisfaction at little cost. After all, we're not Cuban poets or
newspapermen.
Then one morning you wake up and read about a man named Carl Wilson and how
he met his death: In a police raid conducted by authority of what is called
a "no-knock" warrant. And when the newspaper asks why the warrant was
issued, the authorities stonewall. It turns out that all these warrants are
regularly sealed, ? la Soviet.

Burt's compromise would allow autopsy photos to be seen, not copied
http://www.news-journalonline.com/2001/Mar/13/area1.htm

by Matt Grimison
TALLAHASSEE -- The public could see autopsy photos and other records but not
copy them under a new proposal in the Florida Legislature spawned by the
Dale Earnhardt case.
The amendment introduced by Sen. Locke Burt, R-Ormond Beach, is a compromise
in the battle over whether to keep such materials open public records or
close them, as other lawmakers propose.
"There are two competing interests," Burt said. "The family has a right to
privacy that we need to recognize. The public has a right to examine them."

911 calls privacy bill may pass in Senate
Emergency personnel back new legislation
http://www.dailymail.com/news/News/2001031336/

Associated Press
A bill to make recordings and transcripts of 911 calls confidential is on
the fast track to passage in the state Senate.
The bill, which would prohibit the release of 911 records without a court
order or subpoena, originated in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday
and was to be on the Senate floor today.
Emergency services center directors who are backing the legislation say they
want to protect the privacy of people who make 911 calls.

For sale: your private medical records
<http://www.silicon.com/public/door?REQUNIQ=984546516&6004REQEVENT=&REQINT1=
43230&REQSTR1=newsnow>

Provisions in the government's controversial Healthcare Bill are likely to
breach the Data Protection Act and the European Convention on Human Rights.
According to research out today, the Bill - which will radically alter the
way the health service deals with patient data - will inevitably lead to
erosion of the quality of data available for medical research and scrutiny
of the health service.

'Memoir of the Camps': Images of Unspeakable Horror stir voices to debate
<http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/14/arts/14ARTS.html?searchpv=nytToday>

by Alan Riding
PARIS, March 13 - The harrowing photographs taken during the liberation of
Nazi death camps in early 1945 played a central role in convincing the world
of the existence of a Nazi killing machine. Over time, however, many of
these same images of skeletal survivors and mounds of bodies came to assume
an iconographic quality, speaking generically for the Holocaust but with
little emphasis on how, when, where and by whom they were taken.

Editorial: Public has right to see files of public official
<http://www.sptimes.com/News/031401/Pasco/Public_has_right_to_s.shtml>

The fishbowl atmosphere accompanying public service is one of the leading
reasons so many competent people decline to offer themselves as candidates
for elected office. Finances, civil and criminal court matters, personal and
family relationships, and education and employment history become immediate
subjects of examination.
Richard Worch, the lieutenant colonel of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office,
should be used to public scrutiny. He served as sheriff of Charlotte County
for 12 years before losing his re-election bid in November.

While informing Second Monday lunchers about presidential libraries,
especially the William Jefferson Clinton Library, Skip Rutherford also
jokingly told the crowd he never "quite realized how time demanding" the
volunteer project would be.
Rutherford told the crowd at the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored
event that while working on the library, he has discovered that many people
do not know very much about the presidential library. He said the library
will be located in the Clinton Presidential Park on the Arkansas River. He
said Arkansans are waking up to the river and putting it to good use.
