You can use the same thing we use on the video view page. The code would look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo TPL_REL; ?>/js/jquery.truncator.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".news").truncate({max_length: 200, more: '... Read More', less: 'Less'});
});
</script>

You need to add this to templates/your-template/frontpage.tpl.php

Just try it.

Add that code from Symtab above this:

<div id="right" class="width-760">
            <?php echo w('news_header'); ?>

I dunno if that works, but it's worth a try

The example from symtab would limit the news to 200 chars before "more"

It will show even if character length is less than 200.
