It looks like Todd is attempting to set up the page to devote 50% of the
space to the left-hand margin, and 50% to the news digest, but the HTML
table layout, at least under IE 6.0, won't break the long lines, forcing a
minimum width for the left hand size.
Larry, I believe you can fix this by cheating on the link names. You could
explicitly put a return "¬" (ALT-0172 under Windows) in the visible part of
the long link names that don't have spaces or hyphens. It looks like
"http://www.midwestnpioneer.org/timetable/fallenflags/superchief.html" is
the worst offender.
