St Petersburg Times old links[edit]

There are a lot of dead links in the citations, especially for St. Petersburg Times, which was bought out by the Tampa Bay Times. I was adding the archive versions and got up to citation #13 before quitting. FYI, almost every St Pete Times story is available in the Wayback Machine (archive.org). Also, almost all the old St Pete stories about Scientology have been re-published by the Tampa Bay Times -- under a different URL, of course, but usually findable by searching tampabay.com for the title of the story. The newer copies don't have photographs in them (they're text only), but the archive.org versions do, so it's probably preferable to use the archive.org versions when they are available.
