Re: missing white text
My guess?
It's somehow set to overprint. Your Acrobat is set to overprint
preview, so it disappears there. Your LaserJet can't overprint, so it
shows there. The newspaper's RIP honors the overprint, so it
disappears again there.
It will be interesting to see what the problem is.

Re: missing white text
If it was caused by overprinting white, you can check for it by using the Acrobat preflight tools. In Acrobat Professional 8 go to Advanced --> Print Production --> Preflight. Under PDF analysis you can search for white objects set to overprint.

Re: missing white text
If you expect files from the same designer in the future, ask them to turn on "simulate overprint" when printing their hard-copy from Acrobat, "simulate overprint" from Indesign, or to change "Overprints" to "Simulate" in the advanced tab of Illustrator's print dialog. This will cause the application to change object colors to achieve the same result on a printer that does not honor the overprint attribute (similar to how transparency flattening works with the multiply blending mode), and they can detect and fix the problem before sending files.

I've put some offending designers onto this guy's site. At present the only Free "White Overprint Detector" Plugin, [for Illustrator], is the CS3 one. But a lot would be on that now, anyway. The others are only a nominal shareware charge, anyway. Could save another ugly recurrence down the track.
