The sound of 40-year-old gunfire in Dealey Plaza
Applying today's technology to fragile recording of JFK assassination
12:10 PM CDT on Saturday, July 31, 2004
By KATHARINE GOODLOE / The Dallas Morning News
WASHINGTON – It could be the ultimate artifact for historians and conspiracy theorists alike: the only
sound recording from the moment of John F. Kennedy's assassination, made by a Dallas police
motorcycle radio.
Many scholars believe it can answer a mystery from Nov. 22, 1963: three shots or four?

THE WORDS
From the Distant Past, Tales of Cantors and Corpses
By JAKE MOONEY
N Jan. 22, 1856, a group of Jewish men from Brooklyn gathered at the Myrtle Avenue home of a
Mr. Ross to discuss their "earnest desire" to found a religious community. Known as the Kane
Street Synagogue, or Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes, the institution they founded is still
in operation in Cobble Hill.
The records from that first meeting and other early papers subsequently found their way into a five-foottall
safe. At some point the combination was lost, and the safe remained locked for decades.

Data of Reckoning
Quentin Hardy, 05.10.04
Business gets more information than ever. This is just the start. How to survive?
We, or rather the electronic devices we employ, are data pack rats, accumulating e-mails, Web pages, credit card swipes,
phone messages, stock trades, memos, address books and radiology scans. It's impossible to count all these bits, but
people make good guesses, and they have come up with one for 2002. During that year the world created 5 exabytes of
information. An exabyte is the digital equivalent of a trillion novels. The yearly total amounts to somewhat more than all the
words ever spoken by human beings--and it was up 68% from two years earlier.

Court Web site easy pickings for ID thieves
Thursday, July 29, 2004
By Patricia Sabatini, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
You probably already know some of the oft-repeated tips for cutting the risk of
identity theft, things like don't carry your Social Security card and remember to
shred pre-approved credit card applications before throwing them away, to thwart
Dumpster-divers.
Well, you might want to add this warning to the list: Don't get involved in a
lawsuit.
For nearly a year, the Allegheny County prothonotary's office has been
electronically scanning court documents in civil cases, including divorces and child
custody cases, and posting them online for public access.

Boost Your PC's Defenses
To Avoid Spyware Scourge
Plus, Search King Google Goes Down
And Workers Throw up Their Hands
August 2, 2004
Yes, Virginia, there is something worse than spam -- spyware.
Spam isn't fun -- it can clog up your inbox, make you miss important emails
and expose you to offensive content. But spyware can do far
worse. The most-common forms of spyware pop up Internet Explorer
windows filled with ad links. Sounds minor, but they can distract you
from your work and slow down or crash your machine. Meanwhile,
there are spyware programs that do more nefarious things -- such as
transmit details about your online travels or even log your keystrokes
(which could include credit-card numbers and other sensitive
information) for transmission elsewhere. And while spams can just be
deleted, spyware can be infuriatingly difficult to remove from your PC.
