It’s nice to start the day with a feel good story.

The numbers don’t add up 19 and 6 are 25, 58% of 52 is close to 30, so that makes 55 stories.

Then again the NYT math has never been good.

I expect the New York Times company to be taken over within the next 4-5 months. Whether it's Carlos Slim (despite the somewhat iffy past--but he definitely has to cash to do so) or by NewsCorp (Rupert Murdoch's company), it will happen.

I think the late Abraham "A.M." Rosenthal would be deeply saddened by this--he was Editor-in-Chief of the paper for 11 years during its halcyon days. Rosenthal had a strict dictum that you can't editorialize on the actual story itself, and in fact his epitaph reads: He kept the paper straight. I just could not imagine the sadness he experienced as former Editor-in-Chief Howell Raines completely ruined the Times with the very biased reporting on the Augusta National Golf Club controversy and the Jayson Blair scandal.

Buy back option? Sounds like they are pawning the building. The effective interest rate must be enormous.

It’s like yard selling the family silverware - in the short run hard choices can be put off...
