Nano-and-Weird Blank Lines?

Well, back on January 08, 2008 Tim gave me a quite helpful command to get rid of blank lines, useing sed. Most times it works quite well, however, when I try-and-edit an article from the printer friendly version of Time Magazine, these sample supposedly blank lines will not go away.

With speakup I can hear some stars on a line, I can search-and-replace those, but there must be other atributes which I cannot get rid of automaticly in Nano or with this sed command. I remember in my older DOS days, running World Perfect 6.0, you could get an ascii value for a charactor highlighted, you could then search or replace it as well. I suppose there are no Linux WP versions?
Thanks so much in advance
Hart
