<p>TransferMal: Sorry, I hate to be so picky, but even that isn't exactly what I'm looking for, although it's close, and should be useful regardless. If I'm researching the Iran contra affair, for example, it looks like I can use that database and find, say, 1980s Washington Post articles on the subject. But that's not what I want to do. I would like to simply read the news --- to read, for example, today's issue of the Washington Post. That database does not have it (it looks like all the journal / newspaper articles are at least a few years old, and you can't read an entire given issue of a given paper, but rather you have to search by subject to find specific articles one at a time).</p>
<p>Of course, reading the news isn't exactly a challenge. The challenge is finding a way to read (online) almost any newspaper I'd like to for free, since I'm a cheap guy --- and I was hoping Vanderbilt provides its students a way to do this. ;) (I could have sworn most college students have this privilege.)</p>
