See the Declaration of Independence!

On July 4th, television producer Norman Lear announced that his copy of the Declaration of Independence would be taken on a tour of presidential libraries [see this LA Times story]. However, residents of North Texas don\’t have to travel any further than Dallas to see a copy this weekend – Dallas Public Library already has one on display. Apparently, it\’s in excellent condition after being \”found\” (there\’s that word again) in the basement of a Philadelphia bookstore in 1968. It\’s also the only copy permanently displayed west of the Mississippi. The full story from the Star-Telegram, which I think is from Arlington, TX.
