Now I have written it all downSo at least if I am nowhere to be foundYou can be reminded of my loveAnd the simple words I speak of. |

A Saginaw Valley State University history professor is headed to Rome next month for his 26th summer of research in the tightly-guarded Vatican City Library. While the rest of the world keeps eyes on Pope Benedict XVI, Renna's will be focused on Pope John XXII, whose controversial moves in the 1300s led to the modern-day concept of separated church and state.

Libraries should be a key target of the Patriot Act (Apr 25 2005 19:59 GMT) - Deroy Murdock has a Column Over At NRO in which he says the Patriot Act should add libraries to the locations where federal investigators may hunt terrorists. He cites evidence of the 9/11 hijackers' fondness for libraries and calls those who oppose PATRIOT "dangerously naïve or clandestinely seditious beyond and foolish""No square inch of this country should be a safe harbor where terrorists calmly can schedule the slaughter of defenseless civilians. Whether fueled by sincere civil libertarianism or malignant Bushophobia, those who thwart probes of Islamo-fascist library patrons have the same impact: They make it easier ? not harder ? |

Lawsons reaktion är dock den traditionella journalistens (också känt som "Stefan Jonsson-reaktionen"): But what we're mainly getting from bloggers is media commentary or, even worse, media commentary on media commentary. |
