Here at University of Illinois we subscribe to the Clari News system.
We have a bunch of newsgroups from the UPI wire services.  The
newsgroups are divided up by topic.  For example, I read
clari.news.urgent (important front-page kinds of stories),
clari.feature.mike_royko (Mike Royko's column),
clari.sports.basketball (basketball stories), and
clari.sports.football (football stories).  Also, I use the nn
newsreader so I can autoselect certain stories based on topic.  For
example, I follow the Boston Celtics so I automatically select any
story with "Boston," "Celtics," "Celts," or "Bird" in the title.
