In that last post, I had meant that WorldCat is NOT available to me at my
home at this hour.
NEWSPAPERARCHIVE.COM
The mangled thumbnails were in the original. I liked that the
"thumbnails" provided the publications, dates, and the keywords ("Windy City," for
example). But, yes, some are seriously mangled.
Nevertheless, it's a vast improvement over just dates. Then you'd have to
wait maybe five minutes to download something that's often totally useless.
I'm impressed that on "a day late and a dollar short" I pulled a citation
from the comics. The comics are a great source of Americanisms. Not only
that, but I got the citation even though "an'" was used for "and."
I'm working full-time now (minus weekends and New Year's) until my January
4th Air France flight to West Africa gets blown up by international
terrorists, but I'll try to finish a journal article on these new full-text newspaper
archives before I leave.
