I wish this were true, but unfortunately, it's not. Not every reference to the print version includes the print version headline. In fact, it appears that including the print headline is a fairly recent addition to the Times Website. (Very unscientific searching suggests it started within the last few weeks.) I wonder if it might make more sense to grab the author's name and pass that with the print pub date to PQ/LexisNexis instead -- most articles seem to include a byline. Or grab the beginning sentence and pass that. (You'd have to get rid of any anchor elements.) It also appears that not every article that's published in print includes a reference to the print version in the Web version, but most seem to. Bob Duncan ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Robert E.
