Attempt to use Django 1.7 Paginator object.

Upon reading
  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/pagination/#using-paginator-in-a-view

I wonder if we should simply follow this model for pagination of news
items.  I've attempted to adapt that herein.  This is a first attempt
and likely will have issues.
