First thing Friday, 10.28.05

Thanks for all the suggestions about the Front Pages box. I intend to tinker with both design and function when I get the time this weekend. So far, the Washington Post has been added by popular demand. Again, the upper links show you the available front pages of the papers listed. The lower links are other quick sources for a variety of L.A. news.
