David Terry isn't sure when the history bug bit him. But one doctorate in history, one three-year stint at the
Maryland State Archives and a handful of scholarly papers and other research projects on the state's
African-American history later, he remains thrilled that it did.
Now, in his new position as Director of Collections and Exhibitions at Baltimore's soon-to-be-opening
Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture, he's hoping to spread that
infatuation with our forebears and their legacy around a bit. History may not be the hottest of subjects
today, but maybe he can help change that.

Less than one week after dedication of the
Pittsburg State University Veterans Memorial
Amphitheater, the site has become scattered
with flowers, newspaper clippings, photos,
cards and letters and even a can of peaches.
Jim AuBuchon, PSU vice president for
university advancement, and a driving force
behind the memorial's creation, said he has
taken on the responsibility of picking up
some of the memorabilia left by supporters.

The Union Leader
Commentary:
The left attacks a serious scholar —
because he’s a serious scholar
By JACOB HEILBRUNN
Guest Commentary
IT’S NO SECRET that the Bush
administration has a fetish for secrecy.
Whether it’s keeping the records of Vice
President Dick Cheney’s energy task force
concealed or denying the 9/11 commission
key documents, the administration regularly
displays disdain for open government. But
does that contempt extend even to the office
of the national archivist?

Evidence spurs call for probe of SAIF
By David Steves
The Register-Guard
SALEM - A whistle-blower's affidavit Thursday
charging top officials with destroying documents at a
state-owned insurance company prompted the
governor to call for an investigation and led a judge
to schedule a court hearing on the matter.
And the newly surfaced evidence could lead the state
ethics panel to widen its investigation into whether
SAIF failed to report its spending on lobbying.

In an era of diminishing trust and public skepticism, regulations are
being en-forced with greater vigor to enable regulatory authorities to
accurately reconstruct past processes and events from electronic
records. These sweeping initiatives are being targeted throughout the
economy, with some regulations focusing on securities broker-dealers,
pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, major
manufacturers, and public corporations with more than $75 million in
market capitalization.

HOBOKEN - The City Council has introduced a new ordinance that would allow residents to more readily
access public documents on the city's Web site.
The ordinance was unanimously introduced by the council Wednesday night and will be voted on for final
adoption on June 16.
"People want open government," said Council President Ruben Ramos Jr. "They want to know what's going
on with the city government. This is an easy way to access information, making this more available to the
public."
The ordinance was initiated by People for Open Government, a Hoboken-based citizens group that seeks
to improve public access to government.
