John - I have not looked at any brief stories recently, but my
recollection is that they are often things like:

"And after the break, recent developments in the Chandra Levy
case..." Trying to find such things seems to me to be reasonable, but
using them as a basis for tracking in the n=1 case would seem to me to be
little different than what TREC does (hard to see how you could do much
more than keyword match in an example like the above). So I would suggest
not including briefs in the training stories.
