The Pentagon Papers: Secrets, Lies, and Audiotapes -- NSA [RealPlayer,
.pdf]
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB48/

This new electronic briefing book by the National Security Archive offers,
for the first time together, an amazing collection of material related to
the Pentagon Papers, "arguably the most important Supreme Court case ever on
freedom of the press." These include audio and transcripts of Nixon's first
recorded conversations on June 13, 14, and 15 after publication of the
Pentagon Papers began; the Supreme Court's decision(s) from June 30, 1971;
briefs for the government, the _New York Times_, and the _Washington Post_;
and audio and transcripts of the oral arguments. In addition, the briefing
book also offers short excerpts from the memoirs of Nixon, Kissinger, and
Haldeman. This is a terrific resource, useful to researchers, teachers, and
students.

Google Image Search
http://images.google.com

Google has unveiled a Beta version of its new image search engine, which
claims to be the most comprehensive on the Web, indexing over 150 million
images. Keyword searches produce return pages with 20 thumbnails, each of
which includes image size information and the URL of the source page.
Clicking on a thumbnail produces a framed page with a larger image of the
thumbnail above the full page on which the image was found. Users can turn
off the frame using a button on the top right. All of the advanced search
commands are available with image search, and users can also limit their
search to a specific file format. There is an adult content filter option
(default is on), but Google warns users that some adult content may
potentially slip through.
