Thanks to John for his fascinating look at Japanese news coverage. I don't have anything of substance to add for the moment. Those interested in news coverage from the Arab world may enjoy Sahafa Online at http://www.sahafa.com which has links to seems to be every online newspaper (Arabic, English & French language) in the Arab world, as well as live feed for some TV and radio stations. All best, Mirembe Nantongo Arlington, VA ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
