Hi there,

The Google Cache is only available for indexed web pages. When Google
removes a page from its index - in this case because it is no longer
there - the cache goes as well.

Google says the purpose of the cache is:

Google takes a snapshot of each page examined as it crawls the web and
caches these as a back-up in case the original page is unavailable.
://www.google.com/help/features.html

The only site that offers long-term archiving of web pages is The
Wayback Machine
http://www.archive.org

Their search isn't working at this minute, but trying this link might
find an archived copy of the page:
http://web.archive.org/archive_request_ng?collection=web&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonian.com%2Fthismonth%2FDEC02capcom.html


Best wishes,

hi robert (hope i'm saying your name correctly).
thanks for your help. unfortunately, the site
wasn't available after i clicked on it. i went to another link you
provided but frustratingly and teasingly, it didn't have the page i
was looking for although it had archives for even OLDER pages for
washingtonian magazine than the issue i want. confusing.

i'm trying to get the "capital comments" section of the dec. 2002
washingtonin, where there's a story on me by harry
jaffe  entitled "nba junkie takes on the redskins." i was able to go
to it
through google only last week but now it seems to have disappeared
from
cyberspace:(

not to be redundant,
but "arsenic" thanks for sending me that link.
unfortunately, it has only a listing of the contents of the dec. 2002
washingtonian.
i'm trying get specifically to the "capital comments" section for an
article by harry jaffe entitled "nba junkie takes on the redskins."
thanks for your help.
