These Are a Few of Our Favorite Sites
Telephones

There are many telephone directories available via WWW, but this
listing of more than 90 million personal names (and their
accompanying addresses) and more than 10 million businesses
combines comprehensiveness with friendliness.
Oxford English Dictionary
http://www.oed.com/
Although currently under construction, a selection of the
Oxford English Dictionary's contents is currently
available via WWW. Oxford University Press's homepage provides
definitions and etymologies for the months, offers a randomly
selected word of the day, and provides links to related
sites.
African-American News
http://www.afroam.org
A site designed and maintained exclusively by The Afro-American
Newspaper Company of Baltimore City, Inc., the Afro-American
Newspaper site provides information on contemporary African
American affairs. It offers access to classified advertisements
and contains links to other sites.
Currency Exchange
http://www.oanda.com/
The Currency Converter allows users to view an exchange rate and
convert currencies on any day from 1 January 1990 to the present
in currencies ranging from the Albanian Lek to the Zimbabwe
Dollar. The median and the daily high and low are quoted, and
when enough prices are available, the 75% interfractile range is
