When he first started his career as a journalist, Kevin Vaughan carefully
clipped each story, scribbled the date on top and tucked it into a file
folder. That turned, eventually, to grabbing the day's paper and tossing it
in a closet.

"It was like that for a long, long time."

By the time Vaughan started working at the Rocky Mountain News, the paper
had an electronic archive. You couldn't see just how the story appeared
that day, but you could read the text. And Vaughan saved less and less. He
grabbed copies of his coverage of the Columbine shootings. He saved big
packages. And he assumed his work would always exist online.

"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.
