Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Making notes on Papyrus
ISABEL Hilton asked for the perfect organiser for book writing (22 July). For keeping track of references and notes I use Papyrus, available for dollars 99 ( pounds 64) from Research Software Design, Suite 181, 2718 S W Kelly Street, Portland, Oregon, USA 97201.
Papyrus can be used to develop a list of references and then make any number of notecards from each of the references. The references and notecards can have any number of keywords assigned to them, allowing the references and/or notecards to be sorted and grouped.
The references and/or notecards in a group can be imported into a document, and all sorts of other things can be done which I have not yet tried.

Full frontal
I WOULD think that your readers could produce at least one new, bizarre, or just odd use of the Internet each week.
For example, the County Sheriff's Office in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has issued a 'Wanted' notice for an armed robber who has escaped from jail - complete with frontal and side-view pictures of the man (Billy Wayne Jackson). And they are offering a reward of dollars 2,000.

Vote for Steve
NETWORX Inc has placed the first Democrat running for the US Congress onto the Internet's World Wide Web, complete with photos etc. Steve Crawford, running in Maryland's 6th district, is the first person running for such an office to place his platform, biography, etc on to the Internet in the form of a multimedia homepage.
By using this medium candidates like Steve are able to inexpensively and thoroughly bring their message to the people of the US.
