House Fires With a Message in the Northwest

Obama on the Hot Seat
SAN ANTONIO — Ah, the joys of being a possible, could be front-runner.

Analysis of article:
Dinosaur Graveyard as Tourist Draw
I found this article to be the most interesting to me. That article draws you in with starting with telling you about a new dinosaur found, but really the article is about the man who runs the operation that digs them up, The most important information is at the top and my more brad things at the bottom. It was a traditionally written article. There is good use of quotes and a lot of background information. After reading the story I feel that there was a good strong newsworthy story behind this guy and can understand why a story was done on him.
