When reading the news, I generally read the headline and the synopsis with the Virtual Cursor, and if the story seems interesting, I down_arrow to the Full Story link and press Enter. I then press Insert+Enter to skip past the links and get to the story. As others have mentioned, this doesn't always get you exactly where you want to go, but it works for me most of the time. I sometimes have to press this combination twice or just arrow up or down in the vicinity of wher I land to find the starting point of a story. I may try to adjust the amount of characters that JFW is looking for as suggested by the Development Manager to see if this helps. Getting where you need to be quickly is really just a matter of experience with the pages you use frequently.
