Another click would have shown that the "Four Freedoms," was part of his 1941 State of the Union Address. The freedoms themselves are freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.A new trivia question will be drawn up for August. Database Focus : Lexis/Nexis -- NewsThere is a lot to the latest group of databases now available to Wingate faculty, staff and students from Lexis/Nexis Academic Universe . This week's focus is on its newspaper abstracting service. Lexis/Nexis news offers full-text access to National and International Dailies, many local and regional newspapers (including the Charlotte Observer from 1996), wire services (updated throughout the day) and campus newspapers (including the Chronicle of Higher Education). Searching Lexis/Nexis can range from the very simple to the very sophisticated, allowing one to limit by newspaper, date, keyword, title, and lead paragraph.Access to Lexis/Nexis Academic Universe is limited to the computers in the Academic Quad, Stegall, and the DPC.
