In earlier versions of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 C-n, cursor-down, C-p, cursor-up, processed text lines. Now the text cursor moves only through lines on the screen.
Example: a text line of 1000 characters in an 80 characters wide window consumes 13 lines on screen. To reach the next (or previous) line of text I'd have to press up to 13 times a cursor key or C-p or C-n.
C-e and C-a behave as usual.

With Capitalism man exploits man. With communism it's the exact opposite.
