[PW] Lexis/Nexis question

First, a quick rant:  In addition to doing the general searches from 
the top-25 cities, I often have to search for articles from 
individual states and smaller markets. I found it much easier to 
search Lexis/Nexis before they made their recent changes...I find the 
new way of searching for state news much more complicated... but 
maybe I'm just a Luddite.

Anyway, I needed an article from Florida newspapers and after going 
through all kinds of machinations, I was surprised that the article I 
needed from the Miami Herald was not listed -- I found a short 
abstract, but no article.  Since the article I need (about talk radio 
in Miami) is from 1993, shouldn't it still be somewhere on 
Lexis/Nexis? I'm usually pretty good at finding articles 
eventually... but this one, I can only find the abstract.  Donna is 
very puzzled.
