Brown, which appeared on May 6, 1998. The URL is http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-adv/archives/front.htm. Unfortunately, the POST charges for articles that are more than two weeks old. You can search for the headlines with a brief synopsis at no charge, but the cost is $1.50 per article on weekends or evenings. Weekdays, the charge is $2.95.
