Can we tape?: A legal guide to phone taps/tapes in the 50 states. Cell taps are now available at Radio Shack if you prefer to be untethered. When I first started taping conversations, I was struggling with a small suction cup device that barely recorded vibrations; transcribing was akin to deciphering the bon mots of the Peanuts teacher(s) (Miss Othmar, Miss Halverson, Miss Swanson, or Mrs. Donovan).

Should we tape[click on top choice, great article! I will send it to those who e-mail me]?: Perhaps a more important question than the former. This article was written for the New York Observer before the New New Journalism was published.

Life Histories of gay, lesbian, transgender elders [to become web-based video archive]
The family history of a Korean family in an entirely white, middle-class suburb
An oral history project on sexual assault, conducted as a chain letter (interviewee becomes interviewer and so on...)

Adrian Nicole Leblanc's THE GROUND WE LIVE ON and her literary triumph. If you plan to spend lots of time with your s.o. on, let's say, a vaction, don't bring this book with you. I sat in a hammock and didn't speak until it was time to make tacos.
