Akron Beacon Journal: Diary provides look at personal life of John S.
Knight
"The little green book arrived at the newspaper office in a Whole Foods
shopping bag, the top taped shut, with a note tucked inside.
Was there something we could do with this?
The book was a small, leather-bound diary, dated 1924, kept by Katherine
''Katie'' Knight, the first wife of John S. Knight."

Rueters: Holocaust group to lobby pope over Pius sainthood
Benedict has so far not signed the decree, approved last year by the
Vatican's saint-making department, opting instead for what the Holy See
has called a period of reflection. Jews have asked the Vatican to open
up its archives for the wartime period to qualified scholars.

British author John Cornwell, a committed Catholic and one-time
candidate for the priesthood, aimed to prove Pius's innocence in face of
charges that he had betrayed the Jews during their darkest hours.
Cornwell was even allowed to peruse bits of the secret Vatican archives,
the vast bulk of which the Holy See still refuses to open to scrutiny.

The Cabin.net: Elder collection is old-school but marvelous treasure for
UCA
I had come to view a fraction of the archives of the late Jim Elder when
Jimmy Bryant, University of Central archivist, took me back a bit by
hauling out something from my archives from another publication.
It was an excerpt of a column I had written about two decades ago, long
forgotten, about Elder, the longtime Arkansas Travelers broadcaster,
University of Arkansas football statistician, radio personality,
Arkansas Sports Hall of Famer and sports fan/observer extraordinaire.

Southwesteronterio.ca: Festival will not destroy thrust stage
Over the years, the Festival's archives department has kept a detailed
description of all changes to the Festival stage and collected the
commentary of artistic directors who have overseen those changes,
beginning with Guthrie himself. Sadly, this will be the first renovation
not involving Miss Moiseiwitsch, but Mr. McAnuff and general director
Antoni Cimolino promise to remain true to her design.
