Take a look at some of those old editions of the Eagle. Look how chock full of articles they were. Then contrast that with the tissue-thin paper of today.

Is this the "Archive" that you have to pay to view? Why bother when so much is free on Google News Archive.

Just enter "Reading Eagle" and a date range going back to the 1860's. It's pretty amazing. You can also enter search words, although that can get kinda sketchy results.

I read about it on Al's Blog and it's great! What's up with the Eagle? Are they having second thoughts on it because it was Al's idea? Too late, buster.
