Additional thanks to Lance Schlichter, who sent these newsletters in on Jan. 3, 2002.

1) The HTML version is an online web page (just like this page). If you click on the number it will open in the browser and you can go back. The HTML pages are converted from the paper copies of the newspapers. This conversion is not 100% accurate. Check the PDF document for the real thing.
2) PDF is a Adobe Acrobat document. It is a graphical image of the print-out. You can download the PDF document and print it out off-line. You'll need Adobe's PDF Reader
