Subscribed to the Kindle edition of the Observer over the weekend - I was very excited, but this was a HUGE disappointment. Kindle edition is missing many of the articles from the print edition and the ENTIRE sports section. What's left is a sampling of AP wire article, a few local stories and the syndicated editorial... columnists. Looks like anything with a late deadline is omitted. The description on Amazon says that "some features such as the crossword puzzle, box scores and classifieds are not currently available". That's an understatement (and, frankly, false advertising). Save your money for now - this is not an acceptable substitute for the print edition.Read More

I think it is truly sad that a man can't be honored just because of his name. Some people with nothing better to do could make something out of Smith or Jones for that matter. I hope the CMS Board will do the right thing and honor this man.

Lynn Ayling Huber No offense to Lawrence Toppman. APs David Germain and the other male reviewers of New Moon, but .. couldn't you find a female to review a chick flick? There is no way a male could possibly understand the draw of 'Twilight' or the thrill of a ladies night out to a certified chick flick.
