2004 IN THE NEWS Below is a selection from the most viewed news clippings of the year. With an average of over 1,600 clippings MAP archived each month, the choices were not easy. You, our readers, helped with the choices, as all are among the top 10% in terms of the number of times the selected clippings have been accessed. From that group we selected what we hope is a good cross section, leaning towards the more in depth items. Thank You to the volunteer MAP newshawks, editors, letter to the editor writers, and all who donate so generously of their time and funds to make this effort, entering it's tenth year, possible!
