News Links Archive
I apologize to readers for what appear to be runaway symbols in the older archives linked below. After they were posted, my web hosting company decided that it didn't like quotation marks, apostrophes, and long dashes -- symbols commonly found in news copy. If I'd known they were going to start converting these common symbols to crazy characters, I would have revised the program that generates code around the news quotes, but now I have to go through the entire archives by hand and remove them. I'll remove this notice when the process is finished, although it may take a while due to higher priority projects....
