1 comments about 'NYTimes.com to launch TimesSelect'I'm of two minds.
I'm somewhat appalled because fifty dollars a year is a lot of money and this really may be a plot to shrink the influence of Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman . . . but it would be awfully nice to be able to click on all of those archived articles at the bottom of each page without having to pay-per-view.
Another route would be for everyone to stop checking newspaper ads and cancel their subscriptions and have no newspapers in this country whatsoever. Would we still have a democracy?
Maybe fifty dollars is a small price to pay in the long run.
