Default OT -- good news compilation website

I am looking for any sort of a website that would have news articles
(like by Reuters and such) neatly organized and classified by category
and that would be relatively fresh.

Sort of like My Yahoo, but better. With a lot of headlines and ability
to choose topics.

"My Google" is a mess of various tiny gadgets and My Yahoo got a lot
worse lately. Any other alternatives?

thanks

If you have a high speed internet connection [marginal but

Many international TV news casts [in english or with english
translations available] Mosaic is among the best. Let the
clockwise and anti-clockwise spins cancel each other out.
