God bless the New York Times
Every now and then, the Times comes out with an edition so full of interesting information, it's like getting 6 papers in one. People complain about how biased the paper is, or how arrogant, or how power-mad, but when it comes right down to it, it's just a better paper than all the other ones. So we haven't done this in a while, but here's a list of most of the interesting articles we could find in today's paper:
- Hollywood falls in love with epic 19th Century Period Pieces...again.
