This is a couple years old, too, but it's still available:
Bill Clinton & Mikhail Gorbachev narrate "Peter & The Wolf" on a recording called "Wolf Tracks" proceeds from the CD's sale benefit the Wolf Conservation Center.
And from the same issue of Science, 19 September 2003: Pudgy pets. About 25% of the cats and dogs in the western world are now too fat, according to a report from the National Research Council. Pet obesity tracks the trend in human obesity pretty well, and heavier people tend to have heavier pets, often for the same reason: snacks. Pets need fewer snacks and more fiber.
From, of all things, Readers Digest, no idea what issue:
http://www.barnesandnobleuniversity.com Authors and experts teach literature and other classes
http://www.vu.org Virtual university - courses from herbology to journalism
http://www.fathom.com The Fathom Knowledge Network from Columbia University's archives
And, not that I'm going to reprint the whole thing here, but I saved the article from Science, 19 Sept. 2003, about the 700 kilogram extinct guinea pig, phoberomys pattersoni.
No idea at all why I saved this next page from 5 September 2003 Science - can't see anything particularly interesting on it. Or these next three. Something struck me as interesting, but what?
Hmmm. An article from PC Magazine answering questions about flash memory and your digital camera. From 2004. Already outdated, as the largest card it addresses is a 64 MB flash card.
A tip from PC Mag: remove all the hyperlinks from a document by pressing Ctrl-A to select the entire document, and Ctrl-Shift-F9 to convert all the links into text. Useful for those annoying pages copies from the Web. THis also turns dates into text even if they were originally inserted date fields.

OK, the next stack look to be mostly entire articles, so that's it for now.
