Emacs Lisp News

In versions prior to 21, the change log ("NEWS") for Emacs Lisp was in a
separate file, LNEWS, in directory `data-directory'. This simple command
would take you there:

(defun view-emacs-lisp-news ()
    "Display information on recent changes to Emacs Lisp."
    (interactive)
    (find-file-read-only-other-window
      (expand-file-name "LNEWS" data-directory))
    (auto-save-mode nil)
    (remove-help-window))

In Emacs 21, it looks like the Lisp News is inside the same NEWS file as the
general Emacs News.

Question: Is there a function that gets you there in Emacs 21? Is there a
way to get there by program that is simpler than finding the file and
searching for whatever string happens to begin the Lisp section?
