Why I Love the New York Times

Posted on 02 February 2010

For most of my life I have read the New York Times. It is more than merely a habit. It is a way of life. For years, I truly believed it was the paper of record and offered all the news that was fit to print. Some of its stories and pictures are irrevocably implanted in my mind.
