  Log:
  Changes to promote a uniform look to the press page.  A news item now
  has the following format:
  
    <month-and-year>
  
      o <organization-name>	    <date-of-article>		<BR>
        <name-of-article>						<BR>
        by <author-name>						<BR>
        <additional-description>
  
      o ...
  
  The press page is presently coded as an HTML document, so the
  following discussion will use html terminology.
  
      <month-and-year> is a <h2> section element, with a <ul>
      list as its child.  Each list item is enclosed in a pair of <p>,</p>
      tags and consequently appears as one paragraph to a browser.
  
      <organization-name> will be a link to the primary web site of the
      organization in the news item.
  
      <date-of-article> is presented as: (nn)? <month-name> <year>.
      Here <month-name> is the full name of the month.  <year> is a 4
      digit year.  The (nn?) is the numeric day of the month, if available.
  
      The <organization> and <date-of-article> items are rendered
      as `bold' on suitably capable browsers.
  
      <name-of-article> is the title of the article and is a link to
      the actual article on the WWW.
  
      <author-name> names the author of the article, or, in the case
      of company press releases, states that it is a press release.
  
      <additional-description> consists of a few lines (one paragraph)
      summarizing the article so that readers do not need to download the
      article in question to decide if it is interesting.
  
  Entries in a month with a date are sorted most recent first.
  Articles without a specific date appear before articles with
  known date.  This order is arbitrary and has been used for
  consistency of presentation.
  
  Other non-visible changes to the HTML:
  
  o HTML tags now uniformly lowercase
  o a couple of sgml errors corrected
  
  The web page now passes the `tidy' test.
