I think Courier doesn't like this part of the page:

>>><b>***NEW!***</b><<<

The opening angle brackets look to Courier like the start of a tag, and
it never finds the closing bracked. Ed, if you use < and >,
Courier should be happy :) Unfortunately, chaning the parser in Courier
to be more tolerant won't happen soon...
