History’s forgotten details
By JOHN ZORABEDIAN, Middletown Press Staff November 26, 2002
PORTLAND -- Dig into the ground and the rock and soil will tell a
history of the earth. Dig into the records of Portland’s Brownstone
industry, and you will find a history of its people.

The Treasure in the Senate Subbasement
First Pay List Saved From Trash
By David Montgomery
Last Tuesday, as the Senate passed the homeland security bill, two staffers
were several floors below, poking around amid the mice and the dust in a
Capitol subbasement.
Surely the intrepid staffers must have known that it's always in obscure,
creepy spaces where fantastic discoveries are made.
And hadn't construction workers told the staffers, Clare Amoruso and Douglas
Connolly, that anything not removed from this subterranean warren by Thursday
would be dumped and lost forever? Great saves are always made in the nick of
time.

In a Dusty Vault, An Abundance of Lee Family Relics
Trunks Discovered in Alexandria Bank
By Linda Wheeler
More than 80 years after the death of Mary Custis Lee, eldest and most
headstrong
daughter of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, two steamer trunks full of her
papers and travel souvenirs have been found in an Alexandria bank vault.
The wooden trunks -- containing family letters, photographs, clippings of her
father's obituary, strands of hair collected from royalty on European trips
rarely taken by other single women of her era -- came to light after an
inquiry from a descendant.

YELLOWKNIFE - Some of Nunavut's cultural heritage is going home.
The governments of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories reached an agreement
yesterday in Yellowknife to divide the collection at the Prince of Wales

settle on dividing up the massive collection of artifacts and archives.

In Harvard Papers, a Dark Corner of the College's Past
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
AMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 29 — About six months ago Amit R. Paley, a writer for
The Harvard Crimson, was researching an article he thought fairly mundane
when, combing a list of the university archives' holdings, he was stunned to
see an entry for "Secret Court Files, 1920."
That short reference eventually led Mr. Paley to 500 pages of documents
describing an episode more than 80 years ago in which the Harvard
administration
methodically harassed a number of young men for being gay, on suspicion of
being
gay or simply for associating with gays. Nine of those victimized — one
teacher
and eight students — were ousted from the college and essentially run out of
town.
