Headlines

These are the HEADLINES I have used in the past. They have been cut from the home page and pasted here. Many remain quite relevant. This page serves as a historical record of what I have thought important. The links still work (or should) and you are encouraged to look at some of the past topics.  These reach back a way, sometimes years; they were all topics I thought interesting at the time, and some remain so.
