  THE LONG AND SHORT OF URLS
  

  Regarding the "mile-and-a-half-long" URL for the Newman
  Museum article, Stephen Searle writes: "You may be interested
  in looking into http://tinyurl.com/ for your URLs in the E-Sylum.
  It is free and it works.
  

  I made one for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article on the
  Newman Numismatic Museum you provided.

  Keep up your excellent work!"
  

  [After plowing through dozens of junk emails telling me how
  to make certain things longer, it's a pleasant switch to read
  about making anything shorter. I may use this in the future
  when the situation calls. But readers are always advised to
  never count on any URL existing far into the future. On the
  web, everything changes constantly. So follow Mike Hodder's
  example - if you want to archive a referenced article for your
  files, print it out right away. Don't wait, or you may be
  disappointed later. -Editor]
