Greetings to all.
The May 2003 edition is now online--with an important difference. We are now updating content nearly every day. We keep stories available all month on the main page, and then store them in our searchable archives. The listings that follow are copied from the site and thus underlined, but are not links. To read the stories, please go to the web site at http://baltimorechronicle.com (this URL is an active link).

Be sure to visit the companion SCREED site at http://linkthing.com/screed for an outspoken annotated compendium of links to the most important news stories appearing in the English language press. They're organized by topic, so you can follow, for example, top stories about the Enron scandal from its beginnings to the present.

If you don't wish to be notified when issues are updated, please send a reply email to that effect. And of course, as always, we welcome your comments and criticisms.
