...mitigate their anguish, Martell and longtime Marceau assistant Valérie Bochenek formed the association "A Museum for Bip" - a reference to the mime's famous sailor-suited character. Its initial aim was to raise $135,000 and buy as many of Marceau's most artistically significant relics as possible - including Bip's trademark costume (for which bids opened on Wednesday at a mere $1,350). Despite their collecting more than 3,000 signatures of support in less than two weeks, Martell acknowledges that they got significantly less money than hoped for. Still, during Tuesday's auctioning, Bochenek made...

Anyone can access most federal agency records under the 1966 Freedom of Information Act. Over the years, however, some library buffs have taken it upon themselves to liberate certain documents. After Brooklyn artist Charles Merrill Mount attempted to sell a collection of rare Civil War manuscripts including three Lincoln letters to a Boston bookstore in 1987, suspicious staffers alerted the Feds. Mount was arrested, and a search of his Washington safe-deposit box revealed some 200 Civil War-era papers, mostly pilfered from the National Archives. Before releasing him on bail, a U.S. magistrate barred Mount from the Archives...
