AP - They say film doesn't lie, but does that mean it tells the truth?
The public sees fleeting videotaped images of Terri Schiavo, appearing
to many to turn toward her mother's voice and smile. They hear what
sound like moans and laughter. They watch her head move up and down,
seemingly following the progress of a brightly colored Mickey Mouse
balloon. And often they ask: How could anyone conclude but that she is
aware of her surroundings?

Schiavo Case Evolved Into Huge News Story (AP)
Schiavo Case Evolved Into Huge News Story (AP)04/02/2005 03:20 PM AP - When Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, George H.W. Bush was
in the White House and she was just an ordinary insurance company
clerk who liked stuffed animals and romance novels, and was
desperately trying to have children. By the time she died this past
week, Bush's son was president, and she had become the central figure
in a national debate on the right to die and on who gets to decide.

In the annals of corporate corruption, the words of the Enron
Energy traders who chortled (CBS) over the screwing their company was giving
California and other western states in the 2000 energy crisis are
amazing mostly for their brazen quality.
Still, if California's political leaders -- from both parties --
hadn't made such a mess of deregulation, the crooks from Enron and
other companies never would have had the opportunity in the first
place. That doesn't excuse them, any more than a burglar is excused
for entering a residence where the owner forgets to lock all the
doors.
Someday we'll know who Cheney's energy buddies were -- the ones he's
trying so hard to shield from the public. The only surprise will be if
Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling aren't among them.

Joe Bussard's basement tapes
Joe Bussard's basement tapes05/11/2004 11:59 AM Joe Bussard has 20,000 vintage 78
rpm records from the 1920s and 1930s in his basement. For $15, Joe
will put together a custom cassette compilation for you of 20 tunes
from his collection, perhaps the largest of its kind in the world. I
wish Joe and his friends would rip all of his 78s so he could sell MP3
CDs of these ultra-rare recordings. Here's a great NPR All Things
Considered piece on Joe Bussard from last year.
"'The truest form you'll ever hear in American music is on
these records,' Joe says. 'It was put there, and it's remained there
for seventy years. It hasn't changed.'"
"Your
Joe Bussard entry reminded me of another, similar story that was
pretty big news in DC last summer: Leon Kagarise of Baltimore, who
recorded around 4,000 hours of artists like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline,
Ernest Tubb, etc. during the late 50s through early 70s on a
reel-to-reel tape deck at the outdoor music festivals prevalent in the
vast rural area that previously surrounded Washington."
NPR's Morning Edition did a piece on Kagarise last summer. He's
working with Joe Lee, a friend and local record store owner, to sell
the recordings. Not surprisingly, the Library of Congress, the Country
Music Hall of Fame, and others are apparently interested.
"You know, these [performers] were people from the
mountains and from the rural South," Lee told NPR. "And once they were
put in a studio, and they had a producer looking down at their snoot
at the guy. And an engineer telling them, 'Well, if you make one
mistake, we have to stop and start all over again.' It lost the
atmosphere. It's like trying to play guitar in a straightjacket on...
It's sort of like being in the zone. When you're really at ease, when
there's no intimidation factor, then it really soars. And the proof is
in these tapes here."
