Okay, now I understand your first post, KLP. I thought when you included all those foreign news site urls, you might have been asking me to notice something in particular, as is often the case here. I realize after your clarification that you are just showing me additional news sources. I myself love to receive news that is not American, so I appreciate them. I often watch the BBC America nightly news, and I have also started watching the satellite Canadian news station. Although the Canadian news is very objective and I enjoy seeing stories so different from the American news, I must admit that the Canadians seem so well organized and well taken care of that not too much untoward happens up there!

Isn't SFO filthy? I know exactly what you mean. When our family returned from Ireland, where public restrooms are large and sparklingly immaculate, I went into a stall at SFO, and as soon as I sat down, boom, a recorded announcement of Mayor Willie Brown welcoming people to San Francisco began. It was quite scary, especially since it was unexpected AND the restroom was dirty and full of litter.
