    HELP!  My news partition is filling up fast.  Could it be due to all of
   those Jan 30th articles that have suddenly started coming in?

It looks as though cs.widener.edu is back on the net, now that their
router is working again.  Unfortunately a lot of old queued articles
have gone out.

I would recommend strongly that the next C news patch have an
(optional) means of discarding news that is too old.  If I recall the
"news need not be slow" paper, this function was in an early version
of C news, but was discarded for performance reasons.
