ST. LOUIS - With celluloid made obsolete by video and DVDs, the St.
Louis school system is donating to a group of cinema buffs 2,100
educational films from the days when one lucky kid in the classroom
would get the privilege of running the whirling, clacking projector.
The entire collection of 16-millimeter films will go to the nonprofit
Academic Film Archive of North America. Among the titles: "Marijuana,"
an anti-drug flick narrated by Sonny Bono, and "Beware of Strangers,"
featuring Bill Cosby's cartoon character Fat Albert.

A reel deal: School district to donate trove
of 16mm films
JIM SUHR
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS - A group of cinema buffs deems this a reel deal: Thousands of educational 16-millimeter
films for just $1 - a pittance to relive long-gone days when techies stood in the back of darkened
classrooms, spooling the celluloid into whirring, clacking projectors.
Next month, St. Louis' public school system expects to sell for a buck about 6,000 16mm reels to the
nonprofit Academic Film Archive of North America. Among the titles: "Marijuana," an anti-drug flick
narrated by Sonny Bono. Or "Beware of Strangers," featuring Fat Albert. Or "Bill Cosby on Prejudice."

Papers shed light on Ventura
The Minnesota Historical Society has finished
organizing internal papers that offer a behindthe-
scenes glimpse of significant events in Gov.
Jesse Ventura's administration.
BY BRIAN BAKST
Associated Press
For three days, as then-Gov. Jesse Ventura
agonized over a bill imposing a 24-hour waiting
period and information requirement on
abortions, the unsolicited advice rolled in.
During that week in April 2000, his office
switchboard lit up with 13,260 calls and his
mailbox bulged with hundreds of letters. The
outpouring and the decision itself were like none other in his four years as governor.

Drop-off Shredding Service Launches Nationwide; DataGuard USA LLC

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 23, 2004--If identity theft were the domain of the Center
for Disease Control, the CDC would undoubtedly declare ID theft a national epidemic,
considering the 27.3 million victims and $100 billion in losses in just the last five years.
Responding to this financial plague, DataGuard USA LLC is launching Shop 'n' Shred -- a oneof-
a-kind retail drop-off shredding service targeting about 90 million households, and small and
home-based businesses, the favored prey of identity criminals.
