No lives were lost in the huge fire that gutted a storage building on the
Brooklyn waterfront over the weekend. But the flames put plenty of lives on
display as the crumpling warehouse belched up its contents: decades’ worth
of charred medical records, court transcripts, lawyers’ letters, sonograms,
bank checks and more.

“They’re like treasure maps, but with people’s personal information all
over them,” Spencer Bergen, 24, said of the half-charred scraps that he
said he had seen strewn around the Williamsburg neighborhood as far inland
as Berry Street, several blocks from the warehouse.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
