Homer, the newspaper pages for yesterday are showing on my screen, but for today, all I see is black-x. Any idea why? Did you change something in your formatting?

September 4, 1944:


"Instead of sending his forces into Warsaw as soon as possible, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered his troops to wait outside the city, until the Germans had crushed the uprising."


"However, in September Stalin did allow British and American planes to use Soviet airfields to drop badly needed food and materiel to the beleaguered Poles.
Much of what was air-dropped fell into German hands, and Stalin suspended Allied use of Russian airfields after only a week.
Other Allied flights originating from Foggia, Italy, ironically flew within sight of Jews and others interned at Auschwitz.
By October, the Warsaw revolt had been put down."

Yesterday at The Salvation Army store, I saw a dress similar to the one on the top right of Page 5. I’d have bought it if it were my size; I need something new for funerals.
