I was raised on the NYT and even subscribed by mail for many years after we left the NYC area. It always had a left wing bent (guarantee, if it had anuthing to do with the losers in the Spanish Civil War, the NYT had it on the front page, centered on the lower edge). My local paper prints the puzzle so there is no real reason to buy/read the NYT.
However, I was at the Philadelphia Airport on a Sunday recently without reading material and thought I’d pick up a Times, for old times sake. Price tag was FIVE DOLLARS! I handed it back to the kid behind the counter and found something else.
What’s the Sunday Times cost in NTC these days?
