give or take a word
[disrupted headline news collage]
Kingsport Times News 08 feb 2004
identity claims a victim every 79 seconds
paranoia has twists
1200 named to the fall.
boys, girls defend titles
shadowing could put teens on path
compensate for rough starts.
missle strike kills twelve year old
find the range in loss
human error inexcusable.
iraq flares up new strife
US legislation aimed at health benefits
officials seek security.
democrats consider shelving bias
GOP assertions too liberal
american pays hefty obscene gesture.
united states reach falling dollar
direct result of laid off work force
investigating intelligence failures.
keeping check can be profitable
are the viable a continued market?
just stay home, or go to work.
society preserving modern technology
split victory of the season
compensation highlights the problem.
play not enough to derail
life turns into nightmare
escaped, captured.
