Fivehour presentation for your this evening, and decided to scale that back to a more manageable 45 minutes. So ill start by saying this, without newspapers, there would have been no American Revolution. Newspapers are what fanned the flames of the rebellion. They sustained loyalty to the cause, they provided Critical Response during the war and aid in the outcome. Historians know this very well. For 200 plus years, the historians have referred the footnotes. What this book was inverts the traditional history book taking the newspapers that have been in the footnotes and places them at the forefront for general readers like you to enjoy full access and newspaper from the period.

Com and through the book. The story how i discovered historical newspaper happened about five years ago. My wife and i took our f
Which brings me to the last subject, what i would call paper preservation discoveries. Prior to 1870, before the transition to woodpulp, newspapers were printed on raglinen stock, paper made of linen rags, primarily of the facts of the colonists, what people wore as close. Also shipped sales. These rags were boiled and pulled and ultimately sifted into these sheets of paper. The durability of that paper plays a significant role in their preservation, and that today we can find 250 year old newspapers that are in better condition than, say, last weeks boston globe which is probably already yellowing and bill. So thanks to the raglinen paper on which they are printed, thanks to the institution that bound them into volumes, we have these wonderful printed accounts of what transpired during the American Revolution. What i tend to do is i also look for newspapers that others might consider trash, where they are extremely eat up. They have holes, theyve lived a long life, and through fire an

Inward facing cameras in train cabs. The irs says more than 100,000 people were affected by a cybercrime which line of scrimmagely original likely originated in russia. Live pictures of capitol hill. This hour lawmakers are expected to take the first steps to decide whether the toops should be restored. Critics like senator rand paul says the agencys ability to collect bulk telephone data on millions of americans violates the constitutions. Others argue those tools, which are aimed at catching terrorists are a matter of national security. I think were less safe today than four or five years ago because we have increasingly been tying our own hands and limiting our ability to gather information and that is the key way that we find out about and stop terrorists attacks. Cnns athena jones is on capitol hill this morning with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning. From the looks of our latest cnn orc poll a lot of americans agree with the congressman whose sound bite you just played. A
What happened to the Supreme Court is way too important not to Pay Attention to. And that is why this week we spent an incredible amount of time and an almost immoral amount of resources to produce an entire Supreme Court settle down. One of the common cases is hobbs versus hobbs. Its about whether an inmate can tripe his beard for security reasons. You may say i dont want to hear a discussion about that. Really . Dont you . Well, lets assume im in a religion that requires polygamy. I mean, could i say to the prison guard, okay, i wont have three wives, just let me have two wives . Youre still violating his religion if you allow his beard to be clipped to one inch, isnt it . Be honest. You now want to hear the entire hour long oral argument. No. No. No. But i will give you just another taste. As far as searching, why cant he just give him a comb and say comb your beard. That is why tonight, as a public service, we are releasing raw video at this address of club stops, medium shots and
