Thanks, Tim, for your good article and your help.  You are right,
of course, it does depend on what I am looking for.  I should have
included more information.

I take 2 daily newspapers, so I don't really care about the "facts"
in Time--the rehashing of the information.  Guess what I'm looking
for is information that my local papers may overlook, in depth
reports, and good old muckraking.  Will probably buy a copy of "Mother
Jones" first.

Thanks again.
