but disconnected item, there are a few possiblities:
- Most of the Yahoo news items are based on press
releases from companies. If you go to the website
of the particular company
involved, it may have the PR in its archive. Look for
the News or Press Release page.
- Many online newspapers break their links after a
period of time but keep the articles in an archive.
However, they often charge for a search.
- If all else fails, try Google
