Very cool, google has launched a news archive search.
It has a great scope of resources that it searches. This could be a major step in using the web for research; I've always complained that the hardest thing to to do is find information from the past that no one would have really through important enough enough to deliberately archive.
Of course, it sorta sucks, but I'm sure it will improve. I searched for "atomic bomb". The "timeline" option was just sorta sad, only managing to highlight one event at 1945 (Hiroshima of course), and then nothing until the 80's. I did find this interesting article in the Time archives speculating on the V3 rock and Nazi atomic bomb progress.
I think this has great potential.
