Yes, I've seen the statistics on the Reuters pages, thanks. You offer a lot
of diagrams on interesting features like distribution of stories across days
or POS distribution, but unfortunately there is no word/token count of the
entire corpus (or maybe I missed that information). Maybe somebody else has
done such a word count?

Best... Ute
