Great discovery!
...
Yeah, I'm finding that the University of Texas (with its billion-dollar oil  
money endowment, in high-tech Austin) has a miserable selection of computer  
databases--and I can't even access any of them, for any price. I have to go to  
Texas State for the historical Dallas Morning News. Hardly a single Readex  
database or Gale Thomson database or ProQuest database is available  anywhere 
in goddamn Texas.
...
I don't know what those 50,000 students study at UT-Austin, but it  sure 
can't be Texas history.
...
Anybody get the Hartford Courant?
