- Bob Cox writes For a definition of "confusion," look into Waconia's new library. But don't look for it in a book. There aren't any. There isn't any heat or electricity, either. Although the other tenants of the city's new $12 million downtown project moved into sparkling new offices and cozy apartments last month, the library space remains empty, cold and dark, thanks to disagreements between city and county officials. |

- Bob Cox writes Random House Inc. yesterday said it intended to drop its demands that a Nashville publisher retitle an upcoming critique of the best-selling mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code. Thomas Nelson Inc. is preparing to distribute a Texas theologian's analysis of Dan Brown's mystery novel.

- Gary Price writes A year into his post-presidential life, Vaclav Havel is taking a cue from his American counterparts. The dissident/playwright-turned-po life and legacy will be the focus of a presidential library, modeled on similar institutions in the United States dedicated to 10 former presidents. The project is being overseen by the nonprofit company Knihovna Vaclava Havla, co-founded by former first lady Dagmar Havlova, and a six-person administrative board that met for the first time Feb. 16. Havel publicly announced the project the next day during a wide-ranging interview with Czech journalists, his first such meeting since leaving office in February 2003. |

- Gary Price writes It doesn’t appear in travel guides or lists of offbeat destinations, but with books, magazines and other literary treasures dating back to the beginning of modern nudism, the American Nudist Research Library (ANRL) has been visited by scholars and historians from around the world. And, in 2004, nude recreation enthusiasts are urged to visit, as the ANRL Library celebrates its 25th anniversary at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee, Florida with a year of special events and activities.

- Bob Cox writes: If we didn't have public libraries, and if somebody proposed them, the proponents would - you can be certain - never dream of suggesting the operation of one under the same roof as a bookstore. The inevitable harm to the bookstore from the unfair, taxpayer-subsidized competition would be obvious. In fact, though, when asked recently if that proximity ever caused any sort of problem with the mall people, the head of the Dayton library system said simply, "No." A nonissue. |

- Madison County's 12 public libraries will soon be stocking hundreds of brand-new music CDs - and it won't cost the taxpayers a cent. The CDs come as part of the settlement of a national antitrust lawsuit. Forty states, including Alabama, brought the lawsuit, alleging five major music companies and three music retailers had entered into illegal price-fixing agreements to prevent discount stores from selling cheaper music.

- AWAITING REJECTIONBeen like this for a generation and a halfShould have stopped now but I thought it was a laughFrozen in space or somewhere similarSearching for anything that’s remotely familiarSo I can call out for help from this placeTo disappear and change my faceEverything about me leads me to a lieAll the time I feel like a bird that can’t flyGone with the nightmares I dreamt awayMy soul in search for me when I prayUnbeknownst to my atmosphereA million miles away even though I seem to be nearTake my hand, my soulless life and run awayHelp me close my thoughts to a beautiful dayA place that’s far away from my nightmaresA place where I don’t care if nobody caresBrittle bones staggered in the desert heatAt first sight I fall at your feetLight-headed but aware, smiling but discontentedWas the one that let go but I feel rejectedBeen like this for a generation and a halfShould have stopped but I thought it would be a laugh… |

Ticket (Feb 29 2004 10:57 GMT) - I bought my ticket to go to California on Friday. Through a proper travel agent this time, as most web sites just aren't up to the job of providing you facilities to search for non-trivial flights (I am flying Frankfurt → San Diego, San Francisco → Frankfurt) across a non-trivial set of options (departing from Hannover or Oakland, say), times airlines and special offer while preserving your sanity. After the travel agent worked her black magic on the computer – |
