The Clinton Presidential Center opens a new exhibit Saturday, Aug. 10: “And Freedom for All: the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” photographs by Stanley Tretick of the 1963 march at which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech." Tretick, known for his photographs of the Kennedy White House (including the one of John John under the president's desk), was hired by Look magazine to make behind-the-scenes photos of the march. They were published for the first time this year by the Smithsonian.

The exhibition runs through Nov. 17; you can see it for free Aug. 17, President Clinton's birthday, which the library celebrates by charging no admission.

ACLU asks court to enjoin antiabortion bills

Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union asked Judge Kristine Baker to grant an injunction against four laws passed this year by the General Assembly that would: * Make abortion after 15 weeks riskier by outlawing what the medical profession considers the safest procedure, dilation and evacuation; * Require doctors to inform local police when an abortion performed on a teenager age 14-16 absent any indication of abuse and that police create a record of the teenager's abortion and be provided the fetal remains; * Require abortion providers to ask women seeking an abortion if they know the sex of the fetus, and, if they do, obtain all of their previous obstetrical records to determine if they have a "history of aborting fetuses" of a certain sex, as the lawyer for the state said today in court. * Require notification of a woman's partner — or abuser — that she intends to have an abortion, ostensibly so they can agree on the disposition of the remains of the fetus.
