Yes, it's often the most recent articles on the sites but ... that's a little different than what I'm looking for. Also, maybe you can tell me ... how is it that I can get the entire article in that right-side window? I'd rather not have to click anything. Just scroll through articles within the window (as one would with a non-Web-browser-based reader application. There may not be a way. What I find works best (as an alternative) is to right click and open articles as new tabs, then look for a Print-able version and finally crank up the font size as a courtesy to my eyes. Hints? Tips? Tricks? Yeah, I do use Google Reader but find what it grabs to be none too time sensitive.

It seems to be pretty up-to-date and I think the headlines are plenty pithy. Furthermore, they haven't had too many articles on <a href="http://www.lindsay-lohan.org/" rel="nofollow">Lindsay Lohan</a> recently. :-) Plus, since it's RSS, you can customize it to your tastes (for instance, I receive feeds from <a href="http://www.sciam.com/page.cfm?section=rss" rel="nofollow">Scientific American</a> and <a href="http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=5" rel="nofollow">NPR:Talk of the Nation</a> as well - though the NPR ones simply link to a brief synopsis and the option to listen to the audio) if you've already seen this before, then I guess it's not to your taste - but if you haven't, maybe give it a try! ;-) and if the links don't work, let me know - I'll e-mail them to you. For some reason, whenever I enter posts (on Pete's site, anyway) my links remain, but the address gets removed... very strange.
