Krycek is sitting at Jerusalem's desk with a cup of coffee when the students arrive. He's managed to dig up the Professor's dry erase markers and has scrawled the assignment in block-print across the screen behind the desk.

Find an on-line source of headlines such as yahoo.com or msn.com.

Compare the listed headlines and skim the top five stories.

Comment on the differences or similarities and also on why those stories were the top five listed.

He appears to be doing the assignment as well, but distractedly, should anyone wish to interrupt.

Washington Post:
Sharon Quits Party He Helped to Establish
Cheney Attacks War Critics
GM to Eliminate 30,000 Jobs
Let the Campaigning Begin
(Those are the four main headlines.)

CNN:
GM cutting 30,000 jobs, closing plants
Cheney continues retreat on Murtha criticism
Sharon's 'political earthquake' shakes Israel
CIA interrogation methods 'unique,' Goss says
Ex-girlfriend: Alleged shooter sent text warnings

The main business, national, and international news are main headlines at both sites, but the Washington Post and CNN chose to focus on different national and domestic topics.
