Lexis/Nexus has newspapers on-line. It's costly but very, very good.
They're run by Mead Information Systems in Columbus OH, if I
recall correctly. For someone who can make it a legitimate
business expense (as do the lawyers for whom the system was
begun) it is cost-effective. There are also educational
arrangements that can be made through university libraries,
depts, etc., but these take some negotiation.

In response to Joel Elliott's request for names of online newspaper
databases:
Try NEXIS, from Meade Data. Most academic libraries can provide access
to it. Hope it does the job for your friend.
