Thinking that the state's documents might better feed scholars, many people have spoken their minds to the legislature's Committee on State Administration. Plans for a new archives building to be located by the west wing of the State House are now on file. But they have been on file for four years...
Says Coggeshall: "I should like to see a self-service wing set up in a hospital, for patients who don't need all this expensive special equipment and service.
