There's not, sadly.  I believe Russ has thought about how to add it, 
perhaps he can make suggestions if you're interested in coding.

Well, that's expireover, in essence.

I'm assuming your question is how to make cancelled articles vanish 
more quickly than waiting for the nightly news.daily run -- if your 
articles are remaining indefinitely, then something is up with your 
expireover.  (Also, note that you can run expireover more often than 
daily, if that helps you any; it still won't provide instant response, 
though.)
