Indeed.

And the reason the link may did not work (although it is correct) is
because some e-mail programs insert a hard return when a long URL wraps
to the next line. The correct link is:
http://www.latimes.com/sbin/my_iarecord.pl?NS-doc-path=/httpd/docs/HOME/
COMMUN/NEWS/ZONE15A/t00011345366.html&NS-doc-offset=0&NS-collection=Dail
yNews&NS-search-set=/var/tmp/34983/aaaa006t49834ea& without hard returns
or spaces. Luckily for those who don't have access to Lexis, "The Los
Angeles Times" has a "Find" feature on its home page that allows
searching for recent articles.
