Who has time to read the paper anymore? The ink comes off on your hands, it’s hard to fold. Who needs it? I check out the New York Times online every morning before work to keep up on the news. You can "browse" the paper quickly by reading the headline sentences on the home page, then delve more deeply into your topics of interest. And the best thing about it compared to, say, the Wall Street Journal is that the online "subscription" is free.
