#6 Shares fell 35 cents to $19.96 during midday trading.

Why is anyone hanging on to any of the stock? My guess is all those Manhattanites need a tax write off for all those farm subsidies they collect.

#7 In my email spam yesterday was an offer of The Gray Lady for only $1.00 per week! And I'm in Central Texas.

Trashed the email --- you could pay me a dollar a week, and I still wouldn't read the NYTimes.
