Houghton Library, Harvard’s holder of rare books and manuscripts, is in the process of digitizing selected pieces from its catalog. Medieval manuscripts and digitized papyri can already be found in striking clarity and vivid color online. The digital images may even show more than the naked eye can see; a viewer can enlarge and zoom in on these images to reveal intricate details that might otherwise go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

...Both verdicts were vivid reminders of what critics call the rot of Florida's corrections culture. Despite its Sunshine State image, Florida's prisons and juvenile detention centers are often associated with the more troubled corrections systems of its Deep South neighbors.
