The violence in Gaza leads almost all the national Web sites today, with some attention to the missing snowmobilers in British Columbia. The presentation of the Gaza story is very similar across many sites, so I’d like to take a slight detour and talk about CNN’s tabbed story display. I think it makes a lot of sense, particularly on a story like this one, with a lot of history and a lot of opinion generated.  It also avoids a long list of links hanging off the side of the article.
