...sort of e-dog that fetches new headlines as soon as they're available. All this happens in a single window that looks like an e-mail program. Depending on the source, RSS will deliver the entire text of the story to your newsreader, or just the first paragraph or just the headline. In any case, clicking on a headline will take you straight to the full story via your Web browser. Almost every major newspaper and news website has an RSS feed these days.

"It's the wrong instrument to measure my ability," said Mary Lee Reyna, a first-grade teacher in San Antonio. "If I am incompetent, you'd think they would have found me out in 23 years.
