not sure whether freebase has that service.  wikipedia has an api,  
which seems like the better way to go about it, but I'm not sure how  
to get nice formatted html out of it (meaning deal with all that wiki  
formatting)

e.g.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=content&format=xmlfm&titles=radiohead

change xmlfm to foo and it will give you the options.
