An errant e-mail spills Air Force Academy secrets

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The Air Force Academy may stop sending all
sensitive documents on computers after an e-mail with private information
about cadets was accidentally sent to all cadets last week, an official said
Friday.
The academy already has decided that the documents mistakenly released
Tuesday will, in the future, be distributed in person. Officials now may
hand-deliver all documents with sensitive information, said Col. Marty
Coffman, commander of the 34th Training Group, which oversees cadet
training.

Documents reveal key role of resistance

Two men were assigned to kill the Nazi officer in charge of brutalizing
their country. They found him, they shot him, they fled. The Reich responded
by massacring every man, teenaged boy, and - just for the hellish
embellishment of it - every dog in a village singled out to die for that
defiant deed.
The women and children were sent to concentration camps. Few survived. The
village itself was blown up and burned down, eventually erased by the
anonymity of a rippling wheat field.

OTTAWA (CP) - It's supposed to be a window for citizens to peer into the
shadowy inner workings of government. But critics fear a planned overhaul of
the federal Access to Information Act, ostensibly designed to nudge the
window wider, will instead be used by Prime Minister Jean Chretien and his
cabinet to slam it shut.

Collection brings coal stories to light
http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2001/08/26/local_news/PCOAL26.htm

by Walter F. Naedele
They're called "coffin notices," threats sent by 19th-century coal miners to
their bosses' offices near Hazelton.
"take warning in time when you get this letter you better leave the number
two breaker or else stop dockin so hevy you old son of a b- you better leave
anyhow or this will be your doom."
No capital T to start the paragraph. No periods to end sentences. Docking
and heavy misspelled.

Jennifer Arnold couldn't believe her luck.
Two weeks after moving to the borough last month, the Somerset Street
resident received a letter inviting her to stop by Borough Hall to pick up
the blueprints to her home.
"This is so wonderful for me as a homeowner," Arnold said Wednesday while
picking up the plans at the building department office.

Interest heightens in Helms' papers after retirement announcement
http://www.newsobserver.com/ncwire/news/Story/814500p-809773c.html

AP
WINGATE, N.C. (AP) -- The 2,800 boxes are filled with everything from
friendly letters from presidents to texts of countless speeches.
U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms has generated or received countless documents during
his five terms in Washington. Those documents are now being catalogued and
analyzed at The Jesse Helms Center. Some will undoubtedly provide valuable
insight for future historians while others are mundane.
Now that Helms has announced his retirement after this term, interest in the
documents is expected to heighten.

AP
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- New computer generated maps will allow
Missourians to go back in time for a view of the Missouri River area as seen
by explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark nearly 200 years ago.
After about a decade of work, geographers and historians have completed
landscape images that will be converted to classroom use and placed on
markers along the Lewis and Clark route.

Morgan Library's Bookstore at 37th street and Madison Avenue: A Brownstone
holdout among the skyscrapers
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/26/realestate/26SCAP.html?searchpv=nytToday

by Christopher Gray
What most passers-by know as the Morgan Library's bookstore at 37th Street
and Madison is a holdout on middle Madison Avenue, an old brownstone manse
in the middle of business skyscrapers. Almost a century and a half old, the
building is now getting a conservation center in the attic - and perhaps a
new neighbor next door.



The Charlotte Observer 8/26/01
Papers illuminate senator's career
http://www.charlotte.com/observer/local/union/docs/cover0826.htm

by Samantha Peterson
WINGATE -- Jo Jackson knows she has a lot of work ahead of her.
As the archivist for The Jesse Helms Center, it's up to her to sort through
and organize the conservative senator's legacy as reflected in 30 years
worth of paperwork.
The $3.3 million building, which opened in April, eventually will give
researchers access to Helms' papers. Center officials don't expect the
papers to attract flocks of visitors - they hope the exhibits and programs
do that - but the archives are a central reason behind the two-story tribute
to the Monroe native and Wingate College alumnus.

by Margaret Mannix
Like the Energizer Bunny, Bill Clinton just keeps going and going . . . and
going. In Little Rock, where land is being cleared on the Arkansas River for
the mammoth Clinton library and museum, officials of the shrine want to make
sure the ex-prez keeps up that pace for eternity.


The Charlotte Observer 8/26/01
Work's only begun on Helms' papers
http://www.charlotte.com/observer/natwor/docs/public0826.htm

by Samantha Peterson
WINGATE -- Friendly letters from presidents. Texts of countless speeches.
Position papers.
In the public life of Jesse Helms, the senator from North Carolina has
generated or received tons of written information. Some of it is mundane,
some holds the promise of significant insight for future historians.
Those papers are now being catalogued and analyzed at The Jesse Helms
Center, located in this Union County town, near where he was born. And now
that Helms has announced he will not seek re-election after five terms,
interest in their contents is expected to heighten.
