   I'd worked from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. (with a half-hour lunch) yesterday.  My apologies for the typing errors in the "Augusta Archives" post.  My work schedule gets even worse next week...Larry Horn worked on a McJob for one summer?

PROQUEST'S LOS ANGELES TIMES

   The ProQuest LOS ANGELES TIMES has now seemingly improved from May 1953 to April 25, 1956.
   However, upon closer look (from the following examples--a "slang" search, for example), it appears that the rest of 1953, the entire year of 1954, and the entire year of 1955 haven't been done at all.  The year 1956 comes up on searches, but you can't read the articles yet.  You just get the article titles.
   Hurry up, ProQuest.  Christmas is coming.
