Somewhat better, but some fix-up would still be helpful.
Paragraph indents are excessive and inconsistent.  Line
spacings and font faces are also inconsistent from article
to article.  Everything is right-justified; from a personal
viewpoint, I find on-screen text a lot easier to read if it
isn't right justified.  Poem word wrap problem is fixed,
though I've never seen a poem laid out in print that way.
There are still some lines somewhat crunched together in
some articles (for instance, in the final "Party Time"
article, the second and third lines -- second line ends
with "Rebecca Prather's" and third line begins with "house
near seven corners").  You should also use some hspace=5
and vspace=5 attributes in your image definitions, as there
needs to be a little bit of space between the illos and the
text.
