How do I get the old Google News Format back?

Either Google made a change to the Google News format a few days back, or I inadvertently blew up my previous settings somehow. It used to format in a two column display with some subjects on the left and others on right. All of a sudden, all topics are on the in one big center column with a very thin left column of control links I don’t need and what strikes me as a useless right column called Recent, which is a bit narrower than the center column.

I want my old news page back. This is NOT an improvement. I looked for controls to adjust the presentation, but couldn’t find any. Am I stuck with the new format, or am I missing something that lets me control it and get back to my previous setup?
