POST CONSTITUTIONAL AMERICA
THE COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS called for the release of video
blogger Josh Wolf, who has been jailed longer than any reporter in U.S.
history after refusing to provide raw video footage of July 2005 San
Francisco street protests to a federal grand jury. "No more purpose is
served by keeping you in jail," CPJ board chairman and Wall Street
Journal Managing Editor Paul E. Steiger told Wolf by telephone . . .
Wolf, 24, is being held at the Federal Detention Center in Dublin,
California. He has been jailed for nearly eight months for refusing to
turn over his unedited footage to a federal grand jury investigating
vandalism to a police car during the protests. Wolf filmed an anti-G-8
demonstration with the intention of posting the footage on his Web site
which contains commentary, news, and video clips dating back to January
2005. He later sold portions of the footage to a San Francisco
television station.

MARK FEENEY, BOSTON GLOBE - Ernest Hemingway and Marlene Dietrich met
while traveling across the Atlantic on the Ile de France in 1934. Their
friendship lasted until the Nobel Prize-winning author's death in 1961.
Thursday the John F. Kennedy Library is releasing 30 letters Hemingway
wrote to the legendary actress and singer between 1949 and 1959. Maria
Riva Dietrich's daughter, donated the letters, as well as typescripts
of two stories, two poems, and an early version of the novel "Across the
River and Into the Trees " to the library in 2003. . . The
correspondence consists of 25 letters (seven handwritten), four
telegrams, and a Christmas card. They show Hemingway at his most
unbuttoned: profane and boyish, sometimes playful, sometimes
philosophical, and always deeply affectionate.

CHRIS SLIGH ON HIS AMERICAN IDOL RUN: Sligh said he has no hard
feelings, even though he was expelled from Bob Jones after attending a
contemporary Christian concert featuring the group For Him. "They kicked
me out," Sligh said. "It was actually good, because I had been trying to
figure out how to leave. My parents had given me the option of going to
two colleges, and I chose the less-crazy one, believe it or not."
