Foreign Students Not Scared (Mar 04 2004 13:59 GMT) - tomeboy writes "It was about one year ago that I received an email from a past ALA president about the Patriot Act’s threat to foreign students enrolling in US colleges and universities. (I would have posted it here but I trashed it as I do all these “action alerts” I receive from this person.) Anyway the email predicted that tighter scrutiny with visas would have a negative impact on enrollments and the bottom lines of many schools. I replied back, anonymously of course, that tighter security might not be a bad idea as two of the nineteen hijackers on 9/11 had visa violations. I received a five word response, "Thank you for the information". |

t r u t h o u t - Bush Avoided Attacking Suspected Terrorist Mastermind (Mar 04 2004 13:59 GMT) - Fang-Face writes "Here's a disturbing story about Bush administration anti-terrorism efforts. It has nothing to do with books or libraries, but given the high level of interest in the USA PATRIOT Act and homeland security here at LISNews, I believe it is pertinent to most of us. Homeland security is supposedly all about protecting The People. To that end, numerous law enforcement agencies have been amalgamated under umbrella organizations and civil liberties have come to be regarded as inconvenient commodities and unAmerican. The end to all this, is to ensure that terrorists don't get another shot at the U. |

Pioneering Photography, a new Canada's Digital Collections on Arcola, Saskatchewan (Mar 04 2004 13:58 GMT) - A new Canada's Digital Collections Pioneering Photography looks at a historical photo collection documenting the community of Arcola and preserved by the South Saskatchewan Photo Museum: The collection particularly documents the achievements of three professional studio photographers who operated successively in the South Saskatchewan region from the late 1800's to 1960, maintaining a series of studio facilities in Arcola, Saskatchewan. The first of these, Thomas Carlyle Yeoward recorded some of the earliest extant images of the region. His successor, Ernest Dahlquest, captured the boom period of the area from 1900-1904, when Arcola - being the terminus of the Grand National Railway - enjoyed a period of extraordinary prosperity and growth.

Al and Dubya vs. Social ... (Mar 04 2004 13:58 GMT) - Al and Dubya vs. Social Security: The Two Faces of Alan Greenspan (The Whiskey Bar)"Could it be that now, in the twilight of his career, Greenpan sees a final opportunity to drive a stake through the heart of big government by locking in the Bush tax cuts and destroying public confidence in the future of the Social Security system -- clearing the way not just for partial privatization of the system (which can't be funded if the tax cuts are made permanent) but for its eventual elimination? Is Al really just an old ideologue in a hurry? |
