When I set the page to UTF-8, the apostrophe in this headline worked, but the curly quotes two stories down don't.

#1  Fred,

Could you put an appropriate text-encoding declaration in the head <head> section of the Rantburg page template? Apple Safari gives these pages the default encoding, which doesn't work well when people use curly-quotes.
