I was struck, as always, by how much better the content is for their newspapers - not just feature stories but columns and editorials. There are enough papers competing that they can take serious positions that do not have to be ... so..... bland....<br /><br />PS. I really do like the Courier, even though it doesn't even try to be a competitor.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168451164937577069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310158610197025977.post-18019757788819859352009-10-08T08:37:22.287-07:002009-10-08T08:37:22.287-07:00Ok, I reread, and now I think Anonymous was in fac...Ok, I reread, and now I think Anonymous was in fact kidding.

But this was the best part:<br /><br />"Our world was built on the solid pillars of three, great civilizations: Jerusalem, Athens and Rome.
