There is a big space in between the top of the table that has the gray gradient background and the text in it. Why is that?

There is a big space in between the top of the table that has the gray gradient background and the text in it. Why is that?
It's because the td has a specified height of 600 pixels and the text inside takes up less space than 600 pixels and td elements, by default, vertically align their contents in the center. You can change this line:
<td width="568" height="600" align="left" class="news">

To:

<td width="568" height="600" align="left" class="news" valign="top">
