Where Can I FTP/Get Dave's Articles?

Dave Barry is a Professional Writer.  His job is, I'm not making this up,
to sit around playing flight simulation games until a thought hits him
(usually just before deadline), write it down, then send it in to his
editor. His articles are not in the public domain. For more info on how to
subscribe to Dave's articles on "the Net", or where to find Dave's
articles, see the lists below.

Dave's Articles:

MIAMI HERALD
Ted Goldblatt writes, 
"his "normal" column is found in Tropic, which is the sunday
magazine.  assorted other items show up periodically, scattered
around the paper (national news - probably most of these are
also made available to the syndicators, local news - i would
guess no one but us sees these, and sports seem to be the most
common).  i don't know from down here how much of what dave writes
beyond the sunday columns is seen by the rest of the world; it's
sorta funky that he's "just" another columnist for the local paper!"
