FDR papers are an open book
Authors, scholars visit Hyde Park frequently
By John Davis
Poughkeepsie Journal
When historian Joseph Persico entered the archives of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in
2000, he wasn't sure if his new book idea would fly.
Persico, an Albany resident, had an idea to do a book about FDR's fascination with secret intelligence
during World War II. But first, he wanted to see if any of the 44,000 books and 17 million pages of
manuscripts in the FDR library archives could provide the material he needed.

Clinton Aide Berger
Is Subject of Criminal Probe
By CARLA ANNE ROBBINS

WASHINGTON -- President Clinton's national security adviser is the
subject of a criminal investigation after he removed from a secure
reading room at the National Archives classified documents related to
the 9/11 investigation, federal officials said.
A lawyer for Samuel Berger said last night that on two occasions, while reviewing hundreds of documents in
preparation for the 9/11 Commission's investigation, his client inadvertently removed several copies of an
after-action report assessing the effectiveness of the Clinton administration's counterterrorism efforts during
the run up to the 2000 millennium celebrations.

Historical S.C. document found in Florida home
01:52 PM EDT on Tuesday, July 20, 2004
By JESSICA LOPEZ / Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Acey L. Edgemon sifted through boxes, looking for a car title in the Florida house
his aunt bought "as is" in April.
"As is" meant the house came with two cars, a boat, six broken refrigerators and boxes of paintings and
photographs. But in his search for the title for one of the cars, he found more than that -- a document that
turned out to be a piece of South Carolina's history.

ABOUT five years ago I made an attempt to trace my family tree. My initial search
led me back to the north of England, to the small town of Wolsingham in County
Durham, and it was there that I uncovered one of the most remarkable scientists
of the 19th century - yet her story and achievements had never been told.

United States: The Most Overlooked Component of Data Security: Your Employees
20 July 2004
Article by Christine E. Lyon and Miriam Wugmeister
Data security practices in the private sector are under growing scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general,
and other state and federal regulatory agencies, as evidenced by the fines imposed on companies such as Tower Records,
Barnesandnoble.com, Microsoft, and Victoria’s Secret. According to a recent survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers, nearly half of the
fastest growing companies in the United States have suffered a breach of data security in the past couple of years.1 California now
requires companies to provide written notice to California residents who may be affected by certain data security breaches. Similar
legislation has been proposed at the US federal level, and the new Japanese Data Protection law will have a similar obligation. The
potential ramifications of a data security breach have never been greater, and will only continue to grow.

CIOs, others bond over SOX
By Jack Loftus, News Writer
20 Jul 2004 | SearchCIO.com
Compliance requirements can be a headache for the IT manager and the CIO, but downed lines of communication between their respective
groups and poor information management policies easily can make a minor pain blossom into a migraine as the Nov. 15 Sarbanes-Oxley Act
(SOX) deadline approaches.
One research firm has discovered a majority of U.S. organizations are still scrambling to meet compliance requirements, while a separate
study of enterprise-level corporations revealed that even if the requirements are met, few corporations have a budget established to maintain
compliance after the deadline.
