any help or suggestions would be appreciated. also, is there any other easier way to display the news?

<?
// displays news

$news_id = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM news WHERE id=$newsid LIMIT 1");
$news_title = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM news WHERE title=$title");
$news_author = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM news WHERE author=$author");
$news_story = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM news WHERE full=$story");
$news_date = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM news WHERE date=$date");

echo "<link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css' type='text/css'>
<table border='0' width='275' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr>
<td width='275' background='images/topic_top.gif' align='left' valign='middle'>
<font size='2'>
<b>

$news_title - $news_author

</td>
</tr>

<tr>
