I'd like to do the following: Sort a View by any criteria, most commonly created time. After that, I'd like to display one view to display, say, only the first three News with a certain Taxonomy term, say financial. In another view, I'd like to display News of the same taxonomy term, but starting from the fourth and thus omitting the first three that have been displayed in the other view.

Short Version: 1st View: Display newest Financial News No. 1-3
2nd View: Display newest Financial News No. 4-x
(both as blocks on the same page)

This would enable me to format the first three diffently than the others, and also to do other tricks.
Anybody an idea?

You can display the same view, but in your PHP argument handling code, enter '$offset = 3' and that will force it to skip the first 3 entries. This is not the most ideal method because it will cause your query to be run twice; however, Drupal doesn't have a good method for blocks to communicate with each other and thus share data; and Views does not have a good way to split its results up easily, either, so it's pretty much the only real solution (for now).
