          Adamant, the editor of the excellent compilation RAIN
           Records and Archives in the News didn't know, maybe one of
           you nice folks out there would happen to know how might the
           RAIN item be correctly tagged?... The URL didn't work.



          Check the archived RAIN
http://listserv.muohio.edu/SCRIPTS/WA.EXE?A2=ind0202C&L=archives&P=R2787

          The first five lines of the item in the archived RAIN
           are an active link to a wrong URL, id est
http://www.pennlive.com/news/expresstimes/index.ssf?/news/expresstimes/front

          The last line is broken.
