As others have mentioned , you really need a an HTML parser. But the following would work better than strip()

'Hughes. John</FONT></TD>\r\n'
HTH :)
This seems like a web page parsing question. Another approach can be as
follows if you know the limiting token strings:
a.split(' <TD WIDTH=175><FONT
SIZE=2>')[1].split('</FONT></TD>\r\n')[0]
