“Law-abiding Americans deserve to know that their government will not secretly tap their phones, read their medical records, access their library accounts or otherwise invade their personal lives, with no oversight or accountability. Law-abiding Americans also deserve to know that when law enforcement can show an impartial judge clear evidence of criminal activity or a threat to national security, swift and decisive action will be taken to protect the public. That is the balance we must achieve.” KnowsShowsGovernmentActionLawTakenClearRecordsAchieveSecurityJudgingBalanceActivityProtectEvidenceDeserveAccountsThreatLibraryPhonesCriminalsAccessMedicalAccountabilityPersonal LifeNational SecurityLaw EnforcementEnforcementAbidingOversightDecisive ActionMedical Records Author:Ralph Neas
“The porter spends his days in the Library keeping strict vigil over this catacomb of books, passing along between the shelves and yet never paying heed to the almost audible susurrus of desire- the desire every book has to be taken down and read, to live, to come into being in somebody's mind.

“I once was asked to contribute to a mushroom poem anthology. I didn't have anything, and so instead ended up writing the introduction. I think that request made me more alert to mushrooms, and now they've cropped up in my work, the way mushrooms themselves do after rain, quite a lot. But I've only just now taken up mushroom hunting, after going to a class offered at my local library.” ThinkingWayWritingMadeClassTakenRainLibraryLocalsHuntingIntroductionRequestMushroomsAnthology Author:Jane Hirshfield
