Library of Congress announced the release of the James Madison Papers,
now available on the Library's American Memory Web at the above link.
The James Madison Papers from the Manuscript Division at the Library
of Congress consist of approximately 12,000 items captured in some
72,000 digital images. They document the life of the man who came to
be known as the "Father of the Constitution" through correspondence,
personal notes, drafts of letters and legislation, an autobiography,
legal and financial documents, and miscellaneous manuscripts. The
collection is organized into six series dating from 1723 to 1836.
Beginning with a selection of his father's letters, the series moves
through Madison's years as a student, and as a member of the Virginia
House of Delegates and include extensive notes of the debates during
his three-year term in the Continental Congress (1779-82). Notes and a
memoranda document Madison's pivotal role in the Constitutional
Convention of 1787 and the Virginia ratification convention of 1788.
Other materials reflect the nine years that Madison spent in the House
of Representatives and his tenure as Secretary of State during Thomas
Jefferson's presidency. Correspondence and notes trace his two terms
as the fourth president of the United States, illuminating the origins
and course of the War of 1812 and the post-war years of his presidency
and subsequent retirement. The collection also includes a complete
copy of Thomas Jefferson's notes from the Continental Congress of
1776. Notable correspondents include Dolley Payne Madison, Thomas
Jefferson, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Edmund
Randolph, Noah Webster, and Secretary of War James Armstrong, whose
correspondence with Madison fills an entire series. This has been
added to

Amazing dining at Eleven Madison Park
Amazing dining at Eleven Madison Park
05/21/2004 05:16 PMI've had my share of tasting menus but last night's six-course tasting
menu at Eleven Madison Park was one of the best. With wonderful big
windows looking onto the lush Madison Square Park, and an interior
filled with flowers of all kinds, Eleven Madison Park's atmosphere got
the evening off to a great start. The champagne that followed
continued the thrill. Usually the tasting menu is a series of small
plates, demonstrating the breadth and depth of the kitchen. At Eleven
Madison Park, the breadth is more visible because they don't serve
everyone the same dish. So each course was actually one thing for
Jason and something different for me. Like a creamy pea flan with
morels for one and asparagus with goat cheese for the other. Or skate
in brown butter and cod. Arctic char and salmon. Each course we ate
half of what was on the plate, then switched. So the six-course menu
(which actually eight courses counting the tuna tartare amuse bouche
and the chocolate soufflé) ended up providing eleven different
things to eat.
And wowzers, but where they good! The pea flan was creamy and sweet
and the most beautiful shade of green. The four fish courses were each
distinct, each wonderful. And the only course that was the same for
both of us was a côte du boeuf -- beef -- that was perhaps the
best piece of meat I've ever eaten in my life. It was such a great
experience to have so many textures, so many flavors -- and with the
wine flight we had to accompany it, so many different wine tastes --
that I wonder why I'd ever want just a larger plate of one thing. I am
fully subscribed to the Thomas Keller school of thought when it comes
to portion size: three or four bites is a wonderful amount, enough
that you experience it and yet not so much your tongue tires of the
flavors. Each last bite leaves you wanting more. And yet the next
course comes and it's another exiting adventure and new flavors. I can
still nearly taste the pea flan on my tongue!
I definitely recommend Eleven Madison Park and hope to have the
pleasure of dining again there someday.

Intel has a close relationship with Houston County High School because
it has given the school a $30,000 wireless technology lab. The idea
for the WiMax network hatched from that relationship. The plan is very
much on the drawing board though, with no one yet volunteering to fund

he's an experienced Wi-Fi guy. No lack of props to him (and his
decision to leave a firm he helped start that became a non-starter),
but the reporter should have identified him as a current or former
industry member, not an average Joe (or John). John reads this site,
so we may get more information on this yet. A few weeks ago, The New
