US AND EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS
-The Post-Star of Glens Falls. My local daily.
-The Christian Science Monitor. Not really religious,
contrary to what the name might imply. In my opinion, it is by far the top newspaper in the US
that I've read. Fair and thorough.
-The Guardian of London. The best
British daily. You may have to register for this site.

related issues)
