Well, the regular emotional expression is "Bless CSPAN" sometimes followed by the ritual of "Bless Brian Lamb". Indexing the archives is a real problem, although CSPAN has all of the US house and senate archived for 25 years, plus increasingly more and more (at this point, some say "Bless Nixon", except those who have followed how his dream of all those conservative thinktanks evolving) Unluckily my personal database is not yet indexed to find the CSPAN guy who is actually working on indexing all those archives, by keywords, etc and fairly instantly. However, I think he said that given the task, from the right level, CSPAN can do the task in a couple of days, Booknotes, as a internal CSPAN project, has obviously done it all for many years, and contrary to BookTV, those notes are not taken off the internet in just one or two months. Funny stuff, beats Benny Hill
