Reading Logs 3/24-3/26

Ah, such a busy week. Time to catch up on the blog...

Tuesday 3/24

Some good articles today:
-When Economy Sours, a Tootsie Roll Can Still Soothe
-Strip Search of Young Girl Tests Limit of School Policy
-In a City of Landmarks, a Court Case Alarms Preservationists
- A Vow By a Star to Win or Pay Stirs a Sport (I think this is pretty impressive; talk about putting pressure on yourself)
-Students Get a Course in Layoffs
Frequent flier column was as good as ever too.

Wednesday 3/25

For once, I can say the dining section didn't completely dominate my paper reading. I liked the article about selling wine at grocery stores, but the main competition which dominated the section didn't win me over.
Wish I had more time to read the paper today, but between a couple interviews, 3 classes, and Outing Club trip sign-ups, time was a little tight, so I mostly skimmed. I liked the picture of the mexican border wall on page A10. The wall really accentuates the up and downs of the sand dunes. And to touch on an article, I liked the article about cricket in the sports section. I will say, the Times does a good job on touching on a lot of the lesser known sports.

Thursday 3/26
I'm noticing a trend in the Home section. It seems there's been some article on "green" decorating the entire semester. This week it was "Slow, Easy and Green" on page D1. Obviously, I have no problem with this trend. Just pointing it out.
Okay, on to the other sections.
Nice picture on the front page. Says a lot. Hooverville is coming back. Oh, and the flood picture says a thousand words as well. Bunch of good articles in section A. The article about the RealAge website says a lot about how advanced advertising is today. Article about environmental police was also very good.
Very large paper today, and very busy day today. I think I'll continue reading it tomorrow, but just wanted to make sure I got something about it up for the week.
