| LDS Church, USU Resolve Dispute over Arrington Papers |
| The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah
State University Saturday resolved their dispute over the ownership of
papers donated to the University by the late LDS Church historian Leonard
Arrington. Saturday Arrington family attorney George Daines claimed that a
few documents transferred last week to the LDS Church were among the
Arrington papers in error. "We concluded that these documents were never
part of Dr. Arrington's collection, nor did he know these were part of the
collection," Daines said. The agreement leaves the vast bulk of the
collection, which might be called the 'Archives of Camelot,' at USU and open
to researchers. |

| RM's Rose Bowl Heroics Forgotten As He Seeks New Challenge |
| Returned LDS missionary Darrell Bevell was
once the hero of the University of Wisconsin Badgers, assaulting
every school passing record and providing heroics in the Rose Bowl
that gave the team its first Rose Bowl victory. But while Bevell is
fondly remembered, he has left that behind for another football goal
-- on the sidelines. Bevell is now an offensive assistant for the
Green Bay Packers, helping that team win games in a much more
inconspicuous way. And he hopes one day to be running an NFL team
from the sidelines. |

| U.S. Supreme Court: Don't Count Missionaries |
| The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Utah's challenge
to the 2000 Census Monday, essentially agreeing with lower court decisions
that allowed the U.S. Census Bureau to leave LDS missionaries from the U.S.
living abroad out of the dicennial count. The court's action leaves Utah
with just one challenge to the census left in its attempt to get an
additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. |

| How a Mormon Researcher Started the Disposable Diaper Revolution |
| A recent article in the New Yorker tells the
story of how a Mormon researcher for Johnson and Johnson started a
revolution in disposable diapers, making them at once smaller, drier
and better. And, along the way, the diaper industry discovered the
virtues of having a small, compact product. But, the article
observes, in the end the researcher, Carlyle Harmon, didn't get much
credit for his invention, and even his obituary, in the Deseret News
in 1997, focused mainly on his service to the LDS Church and ignored
his ground-breaking discovery. |

| Who Should Be 'Mormon Of The Year?' |
| With the new year approaching, Mormon News will
look back at the major Mormon news stories and people that made news
in the past year. As part of this review, we are starting a,
hopefully, annual process to name the "Mormon of the Year," the
person who has had the biggest impact, good or bad, during the past
year on Mormons and on the way Mormons are perceived by others. |
