“Justice is incidental to law and order.” - J. Edgar Hoover

It's amazing what you can find at the Newseum! Le Journal de Montréal is a daily tabloid newspaper. It is the largest-circulation French-language newspaper in North America; it is also Canada’s largest tabloid. It is famous for its sensationalism and populist Québec-nationalist perspective. On any given day, it can be counted to provide lurid coverage of the weather, crime and Montreal Canadien’s hockey. The front page of the issue of March 8 furnished a splendid example: The trial of two "crapules" (= scumbags); four pages on a late-winter blizzard ("tough on the morale - and it's not over"); and a game against the hated Boston Bruins ("the Habs want their revenge!") On January 24, 2009, the management of the Journal locked out its unionized staff. For the past two years, the newspaper has continued to publish with the use of strikebreakers, managers, and wire services. So much for populism!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is an independent agency of the United States government, established in 1914 by the Federal Trade Commission Act. Its principal mission is the promotion of consumer protection and the elimination and prevention of what regulators perceive to be anticompetitive business practices. The statue of "Man Controlling Trade" depicts a muscular man holding a rearing stallion, symbolizing the enormity of trade and the government in its role as enforcer. It was sculpted in 1942 by a New York artist named Michael Lantz.
