Southern Voice An ‘unspoken’ generation Atlanta History Center documents city’s gay past By JACLYN BARBAROW Friday, July 16, 2004 The Atlanta History Center hopes to tell the story of “Atlanta’s Unspoken Past” in an oral history project that culminates with an exhibit coinciding with next year’s Atlanta Pride festival. “This project will preserve the personal histories of a shrinking, often anonymous population — histories that are fundamental to community memory and identity — while the opportunity exists,” organizes promise in a flier announcing the project, launched this month. http://www.southernvoice.com/2004/7-16/locallife/feature/unspoken.cfm Cincinnati Enquirer 'Rising Tide,' the history of P&G, bears lessons to lift all boats By Cliff Peale Enquirer staff writer Among the most important lessons small companies can learn from Procter & Gamble's 167-year history are a willingness to take risks, an ability to learn from mistakes and a nonstop focus on the consumer. Those lessons are front and center in Rising Tide, the new P&G corporate history published this summer by Harvard Business School Press. Author Davis Dyer and P&G executives presented those lessons Thursday to a group gathered by the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/07/16/biz_pgrisingtide.16.html The State Journal Register New letter by Lincoln uncovered Sheds light on evolution of his stand on slavery By LISA KERNEK STAFF WRITER A Chicago manuscript dealer is selling a newly discovered letter in which Abraham Lincoln argued that the Republican Party should strengthen its antislavery stance.

PICKETT July 17, 2004 Email this story. Piles of crumbled red bricks litter the ground around an ancient, two-story shell, the most visible reminder of the morning that Fred Gray watched decades of African-American history go up in smoke.

DVD Technology Update By AVVMMP Got Any Protection? Protect your media—or, for extra revenue, your clients’ media—from peril by Van Carlisle Business-savvy producers are constantly looking for ways to increase revenue by offering a la carte production services, such as sound-stage rentals, editing services and duplication services. One especially lucrative extra service that you might not have considered, but customers increasingly need, is off-site, longterm and archival storage of master and backup copies of tapes and discs. Think about it: If you were to invest thousands of dollars to produce content, wouldn’t you want to ensure that a master copy is in a safe, accessible place in the event that copies of the tapes or discs are destroyed? http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=26733 Denver Post On the trail of Bush's missing past By Jim Spencer Denver Post columnist No one messed up.
