Reports that FBI agents had begun digging up a farm in a Detroit suburb Wednesday afternoon in the latest effort to find the long-missing Teamster leader's remains prompted different reactions from the city's two major papers.

The Detroit News ran the story as one of only three Page One pieces today, with related elements on its Web site that included a review of the numerous theories about Hoffa's demise that have arisen in the past decade.
