Since the NYtimes ("http://archive.nytimes.com/nytimes-
partners/omnisky/main.html"MAXDEPTH=3 --Stayonhost) has quit
working a few weeks ago, I was hoping for a lead on a site that has its
text layed out so as to not be gigantic but good news with some depth.
Newblaster is *too much* of a good thing and date permutations are not
easily handled here with the launcher program I use every morning to
fetch a batch of news so that it's loaded at the morning sync. The CNN
avantgo site is fair but I would like more. The USAtoday site is pretty
slim and only consists of headlines and a few sentences for each.
