This article looks at the recall of government papers from libraries and how the protest of librarians reversed the government's position. The controversy began after the DOJ requested through the GPO's Superintendent of Documents that five documents distributed on civil and criminal asset forfeiture procedures were to be withdrawn and destroyed immediately, as they are intended for internal use only. The documents were Civil and Criminal Forfeiture Procedure, Select Criminal Forfeiture Forms, Select Federal Asset Forfeiture Statutes, Asset forfeiture and Money Laundering Resource Directory, and Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA). Librarians, however, launched a campaign to reverse the order and the American Library Association (ALA) submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, asking why DOJ requested that documents that have been available for as long as four years be removed. Boston Public Library president Bernie Margolis, in a statement on the ALA Council electronic list, said he had asked that the decision be reconsidered and noted that he had copied the documents for cataloging as part of BPL's collection. Though DOJ officials said that the materials were inappropriately distributed to depository libraries through an error, Superintendent of Documents Judith Russell noted that the agency determined that these materials are "not sufficiently sensitive to require removal from the depository library system."

In a paper presented at the 1961 American Psychological Association convention, researcher Martin T. Orne of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts discussed how demand characteristics influence subjects' behavior in psychology experiments. Demand characteristics are all the cues that subjects receive about the hypotheses to be tested. It is important to control for such cues because subjects often try to perform in ways that validate researchers' hypotheses. Ornealso attributed some people's reactions to hypnosis and sensorydeprivation to demand characteristics.Orne's paper has been reprinted in the October 18, 2002 issue of the online journal 'Prevention & Treatment.' Demand characteristics may help to elicit enthusiastic testimonials by patients and providers for a variety of nostrums and irrational health services.

This article reports on Media Nation, a daily newspaper about the news media covering the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts in August 2004. The newspaper resulted from a partnership between the Nieman Foundation, the University of Massachusetts-Boston (UMass Boston) Center on Media and Society, and The Boston Globe. Media Nation, was published on four sequential days as a part of the Globe's special convention coverage. The paper broke news on the plight of many international reporters who found themselves without expected workspace when U.S. President George W. Bush's administration failed to fund an international press center for the first time in 20 years. It examined how Arab-language news organizations were covering the convention and the growing influence on political reporting of Hispanic and African-American media organizations. The Kovach Library and computer room at Lippmann House were transformed into a newsroom for those doing research, producing graphics, and editing the content. Seasoned news professionals directed and oversaw a staff of 20 college students from Harvard and UMass Boston. Other news professionals working on the project included broadcast veteran and founding editor of Stateline.org Ed Fouhy, Nieman Foundation senior web editor, Melinda Grenier, and former Wall Street Journal graphics editor, Karl Hartig.

Sculptor Bill Thompson's wall-mounted works probe the seductive possibilities of shape, finish and color. Each of his small, intensely fussed-over sculptures-formed of polyurethane panels with polished surfaces of acrylic urethane, are elegant but with an edge of self-reflexive irony. One suspects that Thompson is playing on the idea of the artwork as fetish. This latest show held at the Barbara Krakow gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, displayed some new geometric tricks and more delectable, candy-colored paint jobs in his wall sculptures, which can be rectilinear or free-form, low or high relief. A few works on paper were also on view.
