[SOLVED] PHP Script Not Responding

[refiking]

I'm sure this is simple, but I can't find anything wrong.  I run the script and the screen is blank.  No error message or anything.  Please help.

//news.php
$stories = $_GET['num'];
Echo $stories;
$news1 = '<p><b>Lehman Brothers CFO and COO Resign With Stock Down 32% in a Week<br></b>A pair of top executives at Lehman Brothers have resigned with shares of the company in freefall.
