Corpora: question about availability

[Nina Silverberg]

I'm looking for:

FREE corpora of text that is formatted one sentence per line or with clear
end of sentence markers. Could be just about anything, literature, news,
etc. Preferrably not poetry or speech with lots of pauses and
hesitations. (We already have access to the free part of the Penn LDC
database)

AND/OR

FREE programs that pull individual sentences out of bodies of text with an
algorithm that's not simply searching for punctuation (and checking that
they're not abbreviations), etc.
