Cliff -- I wanted to let you know Leila and all the McClatchy correspondents will have a new site and many new tools starting early next week (probably MOnday) at news.mcclatchy.com. Among other things, the foreign correspondents now all have blogs, which look to be terrific. I can send you a preview site link if you want to have an advance look. hweaver (at) mcclatchy.com
