Here are some URL's on topics other than the attacks on the east coast. Most of them are items that I had intended to send out on Tuesday morning, and that I mentioned I was putting on the Web site. I have deleted a few items that are out of date. At the beginning of the list, however, I have included a separate section of URL's that have come in since Tuesday morning.
