Everyone has access to the Library of Congress website
which lets you browse the subject index. And no, I
don't think it is a good idea to litter the database
with stubs coming from those subject headings, because
stubs are useless and even harm the project's
perception by outsiders. Please follow the first rule
of the information age: "If you don't have anything to
say, don't say anything."
