Extractions: When news broke in December that Bell Atlantic, Nynex and Pacific Telesis were scaling back their Tele-TV venture, shivers must have run down the spine of the interactive television industry. After two years and roughly half a billion dollars invested, the venture seems destined for the uncertain fate that was met by many of its predecessors. And although Tele-TV has not been completely abandoned, its woes are symptomatic of an industry plagued with flash fever-hot one minute, cold the next. Back in the good old days of 1993, interactive TV seemed to be well on its way to connecting American households to a smorgasbord of two-way services delivered at broadband speeds. From coast to coast, a slew of field trials examined electronic banking, educational services and video-on-demand (VOD). But those were not commercial deployments. At the same time, the little-known Internet was about to steal the thunder of interactive TV and become a household name. Home computer sales were skyrocketing, along with on-line service subscriptions. Companies such as America Online had tapped into the elusive mass market, luring millions with e-mail and the wealth of information available through the World Wide Web.

On Jan. 24, 2003, a new law enforcement and investigatory agency whose duties include functions taken from as many as 22 other federal agencies came into existence. The reorganization of these operations reportedly marks the biggest government bureaucratic shake-up since the creation of the Department of Defense half a century ago. Even before the new Department of Homeland Security opened its doors, controversies arose over not just how it would operate and exercise its powers, but what level of access to information it would allow, and how it would respond to news media requests. Will new exemptions be carved out of the FOI Act, either by law or by practice? Will officials and agents feel free to tap phones of journalists, or subpoena their records during investigations? Will the new director consider procedural safeguards, like those adopted years ago by the Department

Extractions: Saturday 21 October 2000 Gurbux Singh's speech to the NUJ Conference, held at the Tabernacle, Powis Square, Notting Hill, London. Let me tell you about journalists. All journalists smoke. All journalists drink heavily. All journalists wear raincoats. All journalists have that dishevelled, just woken up look. All journalists have scruffy shoes. All journalists swear profusely. All journalists go to the pub every lunchtime and every evening, and sometimes even in the morning. All journalists eat badly, do little exercise, and have an unhealthy lifestyle. You know that what I have just said is nonsense. It is stereotyping of the worst kind and for that I apologise. I have lumped you all into one single, not particularly flattering identity. But, I hope it gives you some idea of my response when people assume that because I am Asian, I am bound to like curry, or that I pray to Mecca five times a day, or that I have an arranged marriage, or that I own a corner shop. Do not assume that just because someone is black he or she automatically likes reggae music, is a rastafarian and is into a life of crime and drug dealing. It is nonsense. It is the sort of stereotyping that simply reinforces prejudice.

And while he is not permitted to discuss the Edmonds case, for the last 10 years he has been investigating misconduct by FBI employees. He says he is outraged by how little is ever done about it." Cheney Reportedly Interviewed in Leak of C.I.A. Officer's Name (June 7, 2004) Could the Vice-President of the United States really be so small minded as to have assisted in some way in leaking the name of a deep-cover CIA agent involved in tracking weapons of mass destruction, just to get back at someone who angered them? It's a scary thought. It's not "clear" if Cheney is a target of the federal probe into the leak, but this makes it clear he's thought to possibly know more than he and other Bush administration officials have previously admitted knowing.

The consortium is integral to the Bush administration's " Nuclear Power 2010 " program, a "joint government/industry cost-shared effort" hoping to "deploy" new plants "in the 2010 timeframe."

Extractions: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 OTTAWA - Madame Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé, whose 15 years on the Supreme Court of Canada confronted the country with a bold rethinking of constitutional rights and the role of the state in their protection, retired yesterday. The second woman to sit on the top court, she leaves behind an intellectual legacy admirers say heralds the future of Western legal philosophy and critics depict as a threat to the very foundations of Anglo-Canadian legal tradition. Perhaps the most controversial and frequently misunderstood judge on the nine-member court, the Quebec City native is best known for her willingness to uphold the rights of women, children, gays and lesbians and racial minorities and to limit the rights of accused criminals. On the surface, her jurisprudence appears rife with contradiction: the judicial activist who was willing to strike down legislation that infringed on equality rights was also the deferential judge who sided with the government in criminal cases and, in the words of one defence lawyer, ''Never met a Crown attorney she didn't like.''

Extractions: O.J. was available, weâd move God.â CNNâs Larry King By Peter Konefal Although the media have a powerful advantage in obtaining information compared to the average citizen, they arenât necessarily motivated by a concern for public service. Why is the argument made that television is the ultimate pathway to public inclusion and knowledge of the court system. Isnât it just as valuable to listen to an audiotape of a trial? The assertion that a modern âpublicâ trial can only be had with televised court proceedings is skewed toward a public that only understand filmic representation. Logic and deduction are designed to be at the heart of a criminal trial, and by rewarding the arena of subjectivity and emotion a higher place in that hierarchy; we are dangerously misconstruing what it means to have âpublicâ access to a criminal trial . R.W. Power describes the world-wide-broadcast 1982 Von Bulow trial in just those terms:
