It has Charles Dickens' walking stick and the contents of Lincoln's pockets the day he died, including an unexplained Confederate $5 bill. It has Hitler's last library in that bunker in Berlin and the last to console Czar Nicholas in the Winter Palace in Petersburg. It has the papers of 23 presidents, Sigmund Freud and Danny Kaye and the personal photo album of Herman Goering. It has American folk ballads recorded in jails, remote mountain villages and Indian pueblos and Franz Lizst's manuscript of his first Piano Concerto with his changes pasted in with paper flaps. It has the first book printed in America (the Bay Psalm Book of 1640), the radio scripts of W.C.

The original Library of Congress was destroyed at the tender age of 14 when the British burned the Capitol in 1814. School kids are rarely told that American troops did the same thing to the Canadian Parliament and library the year before. In any case, Congress needed a library and Tom Jefferson, in retirement with no pension, needed money. He sold Congress his library, one of the best outside Europe, 6,487 volumes for $23,950. They came bumping over the pitted roads of Virginia in 10 horse-drawwagons. Jefferson was the library's first hero. The second was Lincoln's choice of librarian, a dynamo with the catchy name of Rand Spofford. He yearned for "oceans of books and rivers of information." He got himself a tidal wave by persuading Congress to move the Copyright Office from Interior to the Library. Henceforth, anyone claiming a copyright on any book, map, chart, play, music, engrav with libraries electronically around the country. Congress remains its first priority.

The Library desperately needed its own building. What it got in 1897 was one of Uncle Sam's most lavish productions, a temple of culture for an adolescent nation still growing, strong and rich and showing off. Fifty-tw- o leading artists and 20 sculptors and tons of majestic marble from around the worlu were used to show that Uncle could rise above materialism. As a result, Demosthenes, Emerson, Goethe, Franklin, Dante and many others emerge larger than life.

It can be very annoying. My type of tinnitus sounds like crickets chirping and it never stops. This has been going oh for several years, and I have learned to live with it. Several months ago I began to hear music. Sometimes it is classical, sometimes pop. Often I get vocal selections.

I was lonely and depressed about my empty marriage and resented raising a child alone. We had another child before Tim went on to do a fellowship in specialty training, and then we moved again. I still saw him rarely and was living for the day we could have a normal family life. The only time we had together was when I fed him (at midnight) and massaged his weary muscles while we watched videos. After 12 years of training, Tim got a job in the state we'd hoped for. Shortly after we settled in, he said he needed his space and moved out. I was devastated. It didn't take long before I discovered that Tim was involved with a nurse. She is older than Tim, nothing to look at, and nobody could figure it out. Tim wants a divorce even though it means disrupting the lives of his children and losing the respect of our families, friends and colleagues. What makes a man who has a devoted, loving, undemanding wife cheat on her and walk out? Why is it that so many men have no sense of commitment and are indifferent to what they do to the women and children they leave behind? Why are they so stupid that they don't know women who get involved with married men are scum? Do we need to take a look at how we are bringing up our sons? I can't figure out any of this.
