I feel like I've read less of the paper than I normally would each day this week. I'm not sure whether this was due to time constraints and a million other things to do, or the fact that less articles seemed to reach out and grab me. Probably a mix of both. Anyway, time to get my reading log out there before I start studying microeconomics.
My favorite article Monday was probably the feature story under national about the candy shop that burned down in Washington. Due to not being observant and missing the byline, I thought for half the story that the shop was actually in the Alps, not just called "The Alps" and which the architecture similar to that region. Oh, and I also thought this despite the fact that it was under the "National" section. I'm not sure that kind of thinking boded well for my exams.
Tuesday. Very sparse reading of section A today. Advertising Column was sort of interesting, as I'd noticed the same retro trend (the I can't believe it's not butter commercial is so annoying...). And the frequent flier column was good too. So basically the old standbys were okay, but most things failed to interest me.
Wednesday. The New York Times was kind enough to let me know that UNC won the men's basketball championships, which I hadn't even known were being held the previous day. Found the advertising column very interesting today. I guess I wouldn't be opposed to small front page ads. In the event of the Esquire cover will the pull back mix and match of famous faces, I actually think it's a really cool idea and a creative way to come up with a few extra bucks for the mags. And obviously, I read with interest the debate about charging for online content. Hopefully the industry can work together and figure something out.
Thursday. I liked how the Times had an article on the increased demands on Minnesota's sole senator with the second role still unfilled. It is something that people wouldn't normally think about but is actually really interesting. With most articles just about the court decisions regarding the senate race, it sort of goes behind the headlines a bit (though it's still behind the headlines, considering it's buried on page A18...). I liked the pictures of teh Desert "trash house" in the Home section. In fact, I definitely read more of Home then I normally would. And finally...kosher dog food. Learn something every day.
Wednesday. I liked the piece about tracing lost belongings using the internet. S
