Ol' Newt is everywhere. Mother Jones printed some of the first
useful articles on the guy, and now they've put them on-line
on their web server
http://www.mojones.com/
The first of these
articles, from 1984 -- and that's 1984, not 1994 -- tells us,
among many other things, "Gingrich told several intimates in 1974
that his goal was to be Speaker of the House". It can be found
at
http://www.mojones.com/N84/osborne.html
What? You haven't had enough of Newt yet? The Newt Gingrich
WWW Fan Club is at
http://www.clark.net/pub/jeffd/mr_newt.html
This page includes a pointer to the under-construction Progress
and Freedom Foundation home page, whose erstwhile nonexistence
I remarked upon in TNO 1(12).
You can even read the Heritage Foundation's theoretical journal,
Policy Review, on gopher. This is the best place to find out
where the highly organized forces of the conservative movement
are headed next. Required reading for all liberals. The URL is
gopher://gopher.enews.com:2100/11/magazines/alphabetic/mr/policy
The Clinton administration's controversial Green Paper on the
law of copyright in cyberspace is available on the web at URL:

Past postings of Jim Warren's GovAccess mailing list are
at ftp.cpsr.org: /cpsr/states/california/govaccess and by

To subscribe to the list, send Jim a note at jwarren@well.com
Those wild hackers at the MIT radio station WMBR have assembled
an extensive web page of radio stations with web pages. The URL
is
http://wmbr.mit.edu/stations/list.html
(WAS:

Also at MIT, Ellen Spertus has a list of non-profit organizations
on the web at
http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/ellens/non.html
And a decent collection of net resources for activists on human
rights is at
http://www.idt.unit.no/~isfit/human.rights.html
You must check out the web archive of a mailing list about moving
assets offshore. It's a whole subculture and quite continuous
with the general tone of libertarianism on much of the net and in
many manifestos of the hacker movement. The URL for the archive
is:
http://www.euro.net/innovation/Offshore.html
I'm told that
the way to subscribe to the mailing list is by sending a message
whose body is "sub" to offshore@dnai.com.
I was charmed to discover the web page for the Indonesian menu
at Bachri's Indonesian and Middle-Eastern Restaurant in Castle
Shannon, Pennsylvania. I wonder if they've gotten any business
out of it --

I don't know if it was Newt Gingrich's idea originally, but he
supports it and it's real -- the Thomas legislative information
service on WWW. Check it out. The URL is http://thomas.loc.gov/
Right now it's not all that impressive, but it's a start anyway.
Next step -- figure out what features and documents it's missing,
make sure everyone on the net knows to want them, and make sure
everyone in Washington knows that everyone on the net wants them.
By the way, the House gopher is at
