Martin Luther King, Jr. Newspaper Archive : free access to 50,000 digitized newspaper pages about Martin Luther King, Jr. I don't know how useful a Titantic newspaper database will be for legal research, but I love it whenever they digitize newspapers.

From the website : Despite the evidence of the widespread nature of white collar crime, there remain few empirical studies devoted to assessing the prevalence of white collar crime as it relates to the general public. In response to this, NW3C conducted the 2005 National Public Survey on White Collar Crime (a follow-up to NW3C’s original National Public Survey on White Collar Crime conducted in 1999). By utilizing household and individual measures, this nationally-representative survey highlights the public’s recent experiences with white collar crime including victimization, reporting behaviors, and perceptions of crime seriousness.
