"THE GREAT AWAKENING "A conservative reaction against the world view of the new science was bound to follow, and the first half of the eighteenth century witnessed a number of religious revivals in both England and America. They were sometimes desperate efforts to reassert the old values in the face of the new and, oddly enough, were themselves the direct product of the new cult of feeling, a philosophy which argued that man's greatest pleasure was derived from the good he did for others and that his sympathetic emotions (his joy as well as his tears) should not be contained." -- The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Third Edition, Volume 1 Being a New Englander, Bob should know about the revivalist of Northampton, Massachusetts: Jonathan Edwards. His name is synonymous with the "Great Awakening." As for the religious/ethical awakening that occurred prior to the War between the States, that has generally come to be known as "American Transcendentalism," especially the works of Whitman, Emerson and Thoreau.

Government's reply in Bernstein appeal; Dec 8 hearing coming
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Government's 38-page reply argues that: * The EAR's Export Controls Are Not a Facially Unconstitutional Prior Restraint * The EAR's Export Controls Satisfy the First Amendment Standards Governing Content-Neutral Regulations * The District Court's Declaratory and Injunctive Relief is Too Broad The brief is available in graphical page images in: http://www.eff.org/pub/Legal/Cases/Bernstein_v_DoS/Legal/ (Reload the page in your browser if you have an older version cached.) Several amicus briefs, filed on November 10 along with Professor Bernstein's appeal brief, are also newly on the Web. The full set of filings for this appeal includes: Government's appeal brief Bernstein's appeal brief Amicus briefs from: Law professors EPIC & civil liberties organizations American Assoc. for the Advencement of Science (missing) Thomas Jefferson Center, re Founders' use of crypto RSA & NCSA & others, re reduced security from controls Government's reply brief The Court will now digest this large meal of cellulose, then hold a hearing in which the judges can question the lawyers from both sides, about anything they are unclear about. They will then deliberate, and write and issue their decision. The appeal hearing is on December 8, at 9AM at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, 95 Seventh Street, San Francisco. This is *not* the same location as earlier hearings in the case. We hope you can come, to witness the struggle for civil rights for cryptographers, to speak with the press who attend, to meet with other people concerned about cryptography policy, and to show the judges that the public cares how they decide this case.

* Several news organizations reported in March and April on Japanese men's increasing sexual fascination with high school and junior-high school girls. One expert interviewed by the New York Times, Hiroyuki Fukuda, 30, editor of a magazine whose title can be translated Anatomical Illustrations of Junior High School Girls, said, "The age at which the girls seem interesting is clearly dropping. But it's only the maniacs who go for girls below the third grade." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To read these News of the Weird newspaper columns from the past six months, go to http://www.nine.org/notw/notw.html (That site contains no graphics, no photos, no video clips, no audio.
