To be a silent movie fan is to live with a mixture of excitement and
despair. It is estimated that more than 80 percent of all films from
the silent era are lost, either destroyed by Hollywood studios during
the transition to talkies or simply lost to the ravages of time.

You've Got Mail—Now What? Regulatory & Policy Dilemmas in Email
Management
Part I: US Federal Environment
Author: Richard Entlich - Cornell University ([log in to unmask])
Embarrassing or incriminating email messages seem to be at the core of
more
and more government and corporate scandals. What's to keep these
entities
from simply erasing these files as a means to avoid future problems?
Note: This FAQ will be responded to in two parts. Part I (below) will
cover
the US Federal government's laws and regulations. Part II (in a
subsequent
RLG DigiNews) will provide a detailed survey of regulations and
policies in
the 50 United States.
