Description

We currently do not show a description of article items in our History list. To make these lists consistent and more complete, we should show the description of each article underneath the title.

Implementation note: This means that we'll need to "persist" the article description along with the title and thumbnail.

Playing devil's advocate here: Why do we need the description in the list of saved pages? If I saved a page it's probably because I already know what the article is about. Keeping it to just the title seems like there is less clutter in the saved pages UI.
I just want us to be sure that there is a real benefit before we add this field to our DB.
